SOCIETY OF HISPANIC PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS The University of Texas at Austin  Cockrell School of Engineering, ECJ 1.227  Austin, TX 78712 Dear Corporate Supporter, On behalf of the student chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) at The University of Texas at Austin, we would like to invite you to become involved with our chapter as we celebrate our 30th Anniversary by supporting this year’s programs and events. SHPE changes lives by empowering the Hispanic community to realize their fullest potential and impact the world through STEM awareness, access, support and development. In addition, we help to promote career development, self-esteem, and pride within the Austin community and throughout the UT campus. The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers has many opportunities for corporate involvement and support during the upcoming 2012-2013 academic year. Our events include several conferences, both at the national and regional levels, various outreach programs within our community, and numerous opportunities for our members to develop leadership and communication skills. Many of our events have proven to be successful, including weekly study nights, our Manitos/Manitas mentoring program, scholarship workshops, networking socials, and mock interviews in conjunction with other organizations and offices within the Cockrell School of Engineering. As the SHPE President and a student leader at UT, it is my goal to fulfill our mission and inspire others to be just as passionate about their goals. I have witnessed the influence of this organization and its continued success in developing remarkable leaders over the years. With the help of our officer board, I will strive to continue our legacy of excellence. All of the opportunities we offer could not happen without generous support from our corporate partners. UT-SHPE would like to extend a genuine thank you to our ongoing supporters. Without your support, we would not be able to fulfill our mission with the incredible success we have had over the years. We hope to continue providing your organization with access to the premiere source for quality Hispanic professional engineers and technical talent. Enclosed you will find more details about the events and programs we have planned for this year along with our annual budget.

SOCIETY OF HISPANIC PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS The University of Texas at Austin ď&#x201A;¨ Cockrell School of Engineering, ECJ 1.227 ď&#x201A;¨ Austin, TX 78712

History The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) was founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1974 by a group of engineers employed by the city of Los Angeles. Their objective was to form a national organization of professional engineers to serve as role models in the Hispanic community. The concept of Networking was the key basis for the organization. SHPE quickly established two student chapters to begin the network that would grow to encompass the nation as well as reach countries outside the United States. Today, SHPE enjoys a strong but independent network of professional and student chapters throughout the nation. In 1982, The University of Texas at Austin student chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers was chartered, in conjunction with the Pi Sigma Pi Minority Academic Engineering Society, under the direction of the Equal Opportunity in Engineering Program in the Cockrell School of Engineering. Since then, the UT Austin student chapter has grown to include over 150 registered national members, and more than 180 local members. It has dedicated its existence to increasing the enrollment and retention of Hispanics throughout the Cockrell School of Engineering in order to better represent the changing percentage of Hispanics within the state of Texas. SHPE continues to promote the advancement and support of more than 900 Hispanic engineering students currently enrolled in the school by providing opportunities that encompass the five pillars of SHPE: Academics Chapter Development Leadership Development

Community Outreach Professional Development

This kind of commitment is possible through collaboration and partnerships with corporations, alumni, the Cockrell School of Engineering community, the University as a whole, and the state of Texas. This support has created a history of success, and shows promise for continued growth and excellence through the future.

Vision SHPE's vision is a world where Hispanics are highly valued and influential as the leading innovators, scientists, mathematicians and engineers.

Mission Statement SHPE changes lives by empowering the Hispanic community to realize their fullest potential and impacts the world through STEM awareness, access, support and development.

Statement of Values We are brought together by heritage, social responsibility and desire to improve the equality of all people through the use of science and technology. We value excellence in education, professional pursuits and leadership. We obtain excellence through integrity, empowerment, achievement, diversity and continuous improvement.

Professional Development SHPE Corporate Tailgate The SHPE Corporate Tailgate is a way to bring students, professional SHPE members, and recruiters together in an informal setting. The organization reserves a space on campus where members are invited to eat barbecue and socialize until the UT football game begins. Each corporate supporter will be allocated two tickets to the football game (UT vs. West Virginia). Professional members from the West Virginia area will be invited to attend. In 2009 and 2010, SHPE and SWE co-hosted joint tailgates which proved to be very successful. Co-hosting another joint tailgate for this Fall is under consideration. (Expected attendance: 60) SHPE Conference The SHPE Conference is the largest Hispanic technical conference in the nation. The conference provides educational, technical, developmental, and networking opportunities for students. The SHPE Conference attracts thousands of students, corporate representatives, and community leaders. The agenda includes: technical and career workshops, a career fair, a graduate institute, corporate tours, the National Academic Olympiad, technical paper competitions, and the Extreme Engineering challenge. The SHPE Conference also offers a Pre-College Symposia which encourages middle school and high school students to explore career opportunities in the STEM fields. UT Austin was well represented at the 2011 conference in Anaheim, CA. We anticipate an even larger turnout for the 2012 conference in Fort Worth, TX. Currently, we are aiming to set a chapter record by helping at least 30 members plus 5 Jr. Chapter members attend the conference.
