SHPE National Convention
The SHPE National Convention is an annual event that our Missouri S&T SHPE Chapter attends in the fall. This convention brings together college students from SHPE chapters across the United States to meet and learn from professionals in engineering and technical fields. It’s a great opportunity for our members to grow professionally, make important connections, and spend time with their familia.
Attend Workshops
During the convention, our members can attend workshops to learn new skills and gain insights from industry experts. These workshops cover a wide range of topics, so our members can choose sessions that interest them and help them in their careers.
Meet Other Members
Grow closer to your familia both near and far! Meet fellow SHPE members from universities and companies across the country, and get to know S&T SHPE members even better as we travel, hang out, and attend the convention!
And of course…the Career Fair!
A big part of the convention is the career fair, where over 170 companies come to meet potential employees. Companies are eager to offer internships, co-ops, and full-time positions to students at the career fair. Our members can talk to recruiters, learn about job and internship opportunities, and even participate in interviews throughout the convention. It’s a chance for our members to take their first steps toward a successful career.
Opportunities within Our Chapter
At the Missouri S&T Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, we are dedicated to helping our members develop personally and professionally. The SHPE National Convention is a key part of our commitment to their success, giving them the chance to expand their horizons, gain industry exposure and make important connections.
Last year, 25 dedicated members represented our chapter at the convention in Salt Lake City, Utah. This year, we’re proud to bring another group of passionate students to the convention in Anaheim, California to celebrate SHPE’s 50th Year Anniversary.
Attending the SHPE National Convention can be expensive, with costs for flights, hotels and registration. We rely on our amazing sponsors to help make this experience affordable for our members. Their support is crucial in giving our members the opportunity to grow professionally and benefit from this amazing organization.
