A donation in this amount could be used to help our SHPE Jr members pay for the SHPE national membership fee.
When promoting our events throughout campus, it is more likely for a student to attend a meeting that provides food. With this donation, our organization will be able to ensure that there is food at our general body meetings which will allow us to further attract more students to our meetings.
A donation of this size will allow SHPE to rent locations on campus to host our general body meetings and friendSHPE events! The more donations of this size that we receive, the more locations on campus we can rent which will ultimately allow us to reach a bigger crowd!
A generous donation of this amount would be used towards paying for events such as, traveling to regionals and our paying for a member’s registration to Regional Leadership Development Conference, that occurs once a year.
One of the main things our members look forward to is being able to attend the annual SHPE conference that occurs in November. Our chapter aims at paying for most of the trip, and we only require our members to pay for registration, which begins at $225-$250. In recent years, some of our members have shied away from this opportunity due to financial issues, and a donation in this size would cover for one member’s registration fee. Donors will receive a thank you note from a member that benefits from this!
Sponsors an entire Jr SHPE chapter: As an organization, one of our main goals in recent years has been to strengthen our outreach initiatives. We believe that to truly live up to our mission of empowering the Hispanic community through STEM, we have to begin from the roots, which is our young students. We believe we best do this through our SHPE Jr chapters that we charter in inner city high schools. A Jr. chapter runs like a college chapter, but funding for our Jr. chapters is more challenging, a donation in this size would cover an entire Jr. chapter. Donors will receive thank you notes from the chapter that benefits from this!
