PLEASE NOTE: The SHPE offices are closed today for Veterans Day.
GIVING THANKS TO MY TEAM
Back in late September, with less than a month to go before the virtual 2020 SHPE National Convention, I got a call from one of my team members. She’d just been told by our convention production team that we needed to record and submit approximately 120 industry expert-led videos (in collaboration with our partners and sponsors), to ensure the sessions would be edited and uploaded on time...

HONORING OUR VETERANS
Join us today in honoring all those who have served in the United States Armed Forces. We are so grateful to the brave men and women who have chosen to sacrifice for the common good. And we stand united in our respect for these patriots and their willingness to serve our country.

ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL NATIONAL CONVENTION IN THE BOOKS
With over 9,000 registrations and final attendee data still being confirmed, there's no doubt that our first virtual National Convention was a success. The Career Fair resulted in almost 100,000 pre-screenings completed and over 13,000 interviews planned. We'll have more data to share over the next few weeks and a formal wrap-up report in early 2021.

SAVE THE DATE FOR 2021!
Imagine the joy of actually being together in person! The 2021 SHPE National Convention is planned for November 11-14 in Orlando, Florida! Mark your calendar now and keep your fingers crossed that we'll all be back together in person again next year for what will surely be the BEST. CONVENTION. EVER.

BE INSPIRED BY THESE HISPANIC STARS RISING
You can’t be what you can’t see, that’s why we need more Hispanic role models who inspire others to shine. We're proud to have the story of SHPE CEO Raquel Tamez featured beside 91 other Hispanic Stars in the first edition of Hispanic Stars Rising: A New Face of Power. Get your copy today!

SHPE STUDENT MEMBER RECOGNIZED BY ALLIANT ENERGY
Congratulations to University of Wisconsin student Dalila Ricci, one recipient of the 14th annual Alliant Energy/Erroll B. Davis, Jr. Achievement Award! The award recognizes students’ academic and community service efforts and achievements. In the article about the awards, Dalila talks about the role of SHPE in her public service.

INVITE A FRIEND! MEMBERSHIP HAS ITS PRIVILEGES
A SHPE membership offers an enormous network of leading Hispanics in STEM, as well as, access to educational programs like Propel, CyberTech Trek, latinXfactor, and discounts on regional and national events. If you know a Hispanic in STEM who isn't yet a SHPE member, why keep it a secret? Invite them to join the Familia today!
