Familia for Life!
A total of $650,000 in scholarships was granted to 175 recipients for the 2020-2021 academic year
SHPE served 3,375 current and future Hispanic STEM leaders over the course of 14 latinXfactor webinars
A new collaboration with SMU-Cox School of Business offered 21 Hispanic professionals the opportunity to earn a certificate in strategic leadership
This new program supports and reinforces our corporate partners as they develop a strategic mindset with their ERG programs and leaders
Our Espresso Shot videos offered practical, relevant, and useful tips on virtual learning and working during a challenging time
SHPE offered virtual workouts for 5 weeks during the month of May to help the Familia get into SHPE SHAPE!
Forced to reimagine what our Convention could be, we didn’t just rise to the occasion; we exceeded it. We had nearly 9,000 attendees and 240 exhibitors with over 13,000 job interviews. We ascended *and* transcended.
Leading leaders takes a special kind of chops. NILA helps foster these extraordinary members.
The pandemic had a big impact on our RLDC events, but 3 of our Regions were still able to gather 1,000 members for local leadership development and technical support.
The effects of COVID-19 on the workplace and job market are still reverberating throughout our country. SHPE was quick to respond with our first ever stand-alone virtual Career Fair on April 18th ensuring our members could weather this storm with resilience and hope.

Bright Minds
Financial need is the #1 reason why Hispanic students do not complete a bachelor’s degree. Through the Bright Minds ScholarSHPE Campaign, SHPE offers thousands of reasons to ensure their members DO reach graduation – 629,000 to be exact. With 170+ scholarships totaling over $629,000 awarded for 2019-2020, SHPE is actively narrowing the gap in the Hispanic STEM education pipeline.

ALL-IN Relief Fund
In response to COVID-19 and the global pandemic that happened in 2020, SHPE launched the ALL-IN Relief Fund. Understanding that the pandemic created new challenges for all of our members, we established a fund to support those with a demonstrated hardship as a result. Thanks to our donors we were able to support 563 SHPE members through trying times.
