About Us
SHPE at Stevens Institute of Technology (SHPE@SIT) was founded in 1988, by Stevens’ student, Hermes Gonzalez. Hermes established the chapter to provide a support system for Hispanics on campus. In December of 1991, the chapter was officially recognized by SHPE Inc., the national governing body. SHPE@SIT has instituted a much-needed support system for Hispanic students in engineering and science. It also has been successful in its efforts to reach out and have a positive impact on young Hispanics within the surrounding communities.
