| Welcome SHPE members to a new year. This year SHPE
San Diego will be celebrating its 27th anniversary. SHPE San Diego
proudly sponsors four college student chapters: University of California
San Diego (UCSD), San Diego State University (SDSU), Southwestern
College (SCW), and San Diego City College (SDCC) and one SHPE Jr.
Chapter at Kearny Mesa High School.
I am honored to be the President of our award - winning chapter.
It is with great pleasure that have I taken up this challenge. It
is my intent to fulfill our collective expectations and emulate
the vision of our former presidents. The 2008-2009 Board brings
professional experience and mirrors the commitment to SHPE SD goals.
This year we have many plans to continue fulfilling our mission
to “... promote the development of Hispanics in engineering,
science and other technical professions to achieve educational excellence,
economic opportunity and social equity.” As the year progresses
we will inform you about those plans through this website and will
invite to participate. YOU are imperative to the success of the
San Diego Chapter.
One of the main tenets of this chapter has always been to support
our students through scholarships. This year, we have an innovative
method to support this cause. In the link “Support SHPE SD”
you will be able to shop online and the vendors will donate a portion
of your purchase to SHPE SD. We are also planning to have a series
of professional workshops that will enhance our technical and interpersonal
skills and increase our competitiveness.
Please browse our website to acquaint yourself with our chapter,
our calendar and our activities. We ask you to contact us for any
comments, concerns or inquiries you may have.
Thank you
