About Us

The Society of Hispanic Engineers (SHE) is the Rutgers University student chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE). Established in 1984 by seven Hispanic engineering students, SHE began as a space to address cultural concerns and build community. Guided by the motto “Recruit, Retain, and Graduate” minority students majoring in engineering, math, or science, SHE operated independently until 1988, when it became a recognized SHPE chapter.
