Who We Are

SHPE_logo_vert_VATech_DKBG_edited.png

We are Virginia Tech’s chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers. We aim to prepare future engineers and scientists by fostering academic support, networking opportunities, and community outreach for those seeking higher education. Our chapter allows young Lantinx students to develop into well-rounded and effective leaders through our student government, which handles the chapter’s administrative and executive affairs. At Virginia Tech, we seek to close the gap between Hispanic and non-Hispanic people in STEM. Our goal is to produce high-quality Hispanic engineers who will not only be filled with technical talent but also with awareness and the courage to better themselves and the community.
