About Notre Dame Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers
The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers at the University of Notre Dame in Notre Dame, IN, represents a vital community for Hispanic and Latinx students pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. As a chapter of the national SHPE organization—which has grown from a small garage meeting in 1974 to a network of thousands of professionals—the Notre Dame chapter carries forward a legacy of empowerment and diversification in STEM.
At its heart, SHPE at Notre Dame is built on familia—a commitment to supporting one another through the challenges and triumphs of engineering education. The organization recognizes that Hispanic students bring unique perspectives and talents to STEM fields, and it creates spaces where members can celebrate their heritage while advancing their professional goals. Through events like the end-of-year gala, SHPE-tina celebrations, and regular chapter meetings, the organization fosters deep connections among its members and welcomes students into a supportive community.
The chapter's mission extends beyond individual success to collective impact. SHPE at Notre Dame is dedicated to changing lives by empowering the Hispanic community to realize its fullest potential and to impact the world through STEM awareness and access. Members actively engage in service to their community, working to inspire younger students to pursue engineering careers and demonstrating that Hispanics are not only capable but essential contributors to technological innovation.
Guided by values of Service, Education, and Resilience alongside Familia, SHPE at Notre Dame creates pathways for Hispanic students to thrive. The organization provides mentorship, professional development, and meaningful connections that extend far beyond the Notre Dame campus, linking members to a nationwide network of Hispanic engineers and scientists. For students seeking community, inspiration, and professional growth, SHPE at Notre Dame offers both.
