Houston Professional Chapter
Hola SHPE Houston Members, Sponsors, and Supporters!
SHPE Houston likes to thanks all our members that volunteered during the past month. We held many events since the last newsletter: from attending HCC Juegos Latinos and volunteering at the Food Bank to several resume review workshops (TAMU, UH, and online to NASA’s internship candidates). We also were honored to meet with a future chapter, SHPE Jr. HTX, and attended a robotic Saturday at MLCPA.  Thanks for your invitation!   
In addition, we would like to thanks our members who answered our survey. Based on your suggestions, you will see in the next few months new professional development opportunities and new ways to help you attend these events.
Gracias!

Que Pasó?
Some of our events since the last newsletter
SHPE at Houston Food Bank
On Saturday, Aug. 17, SHPE Houston members and friends were part of over 200 volunteers from several groups that volunteered several hours helping the Houston Food Bank warehouse processing over 15 pallets (about 14,000 lbs.) of food items.  This effort will help the Houston Food Bank to provide 14,495 meals to our community and in return, we all felt a sense of purpose. 
After the event, our volunteers were invited by SHPE Houston to a Happy Hour at St. Arnold’s Brewery.  We spent a good time with our friends and family knowing that no matter where you choose to volunteer your time and energy, there always seems to be a moment of pause, when you stop and think to yourself how thankful you are for all you have.
Gracias Familia! See you next time!
La Noche de Familia, hosted by SHPE Jr. HTX with the collaboration of SHPE Houston, took place on August 30th at Katy ISD’s Robert R. Shaw STEAM center. This inaugural event for this forming SHPE Jr. chapter brought together families and students to introduce SHPE, the SHPE Jr. HTX chapter and SHPE’s mission to empower the youth to become the STEM leaders and innovators of tomorrow. SHPE Jr. HTX is a chapter under development that aspires to have a presence in Houston. Their goal is to create a SHPE Jr. that can reach high school students beyond the boundaries of a single school. SHPE Houston will continue to support this initiating chapter.
Contact Abraham Madrigal (shpejr@shpehouston.org) if interest in starting a SHPE Jr chapter.
On Sept.3rd, our members traveled to College Station to participate in TAMU's Resume Workshop. Then, on Sept.6, Our members also supported UH Resume Workshop.  Both events were a great success with  great participation. Congrats to both SHPE Chapters and kudos to our own William Gonzalez (studentaffairs@shpehouston.org) for organizing our volunteers.
This past Saturday, September 7th, we had the honor to attend the Mickey Leland College Preparatory Academy for Young Men (MLCPA) Robotics Saturday event.  MLCPA has achieved in abundance and has earned a reputation as a beacon for young men with bright minds.
