SHPE at Rice aims to empower Rice Hispanic Engineers through professional, social, academic and outreach opportunities. Professionally it seeks to connect all its members with an internship, research, or post-graduation position. Socially and academically, it hopes to strengthen the sense of familia and create a strong support network within the group. In Outreach, it aims to impact and empower the surrounding young, underserved minority communities in their pursuit of education and learning.
