Community Partners

Our mission is necessary, but ambitious. SHPE strives to be as capable and comprehensive as possible, but we simply cannot do this alone. Our community partners are experts in their own right, and collaborating with them makes us a stronger, more effective organization. We are grateful to have their support in helping get more Hispanics in STEM!
