President's Message
Since 1982, the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers’ University of Arizona (SHPE UA) chapter has strived to impact the Southern Arizona community positively. This chapter’s foundation is built on transforming the lives of those who aspire to succeed within the STEM field. For nearly four decades, SHPE UA has exceeded expectations to explore, acquire, and provide resources to its members, alumni, and the community with one goal. That goal is to empower the Hispanic community to realize its fullest potential while emphasizing an impact created through STEM awareness and development.
Within the University of Arizona, our SHPE UA chapter serves as a place where diversity, inclusion, and cultural experiences and perspectives are valued and appreciated. SHPE UA is a community where everyone belongs, regardless of age, gender, orientation, religion, race, and any other social or personal characteristics. We are a community like no other; a community that is your home away from home and where you will find your “familia”. A familia full of motivated and driven individuals who seek self-improvement and desire to impact the world around them. A familia that is resilient in the face of adversity by continuing to push itself and all its members forward. This resiliency was evident last year when this familia was able to come together and reach new heights even during a pandemic.
I was first introduced to SHPE UA when I was a Junior in high school and came to ALE/YLF. It was here where I first learned about Biomedical Engineering, the major I would pursue. When I came to college, I knew that I had to join this wonderful organization. Looking back, I can easily say that that was the best decision I made in college. Undoubtedly, this professional chapter has molded me into the person I am today. Because of SHPE UA, I will continue to make the most of every opportunity, continuously challenging myself to exceed expectations. I hope to my SHPE familia proud.
