Here at the SHPEtinas chapter in St. Louis, we elevate the Latina professional to work and thrive to her fullest potential. We offer social events, panels, and a professional support to Latinas who work in the STEM field.

As the national program’s mission states, “The SHPEtinas program accelerates and affirms Latina representation at all levels of STEM corporate and academic leadership. Encouraging Latinas to pursue higher education and careers in STEM recognizes the unique perspective they bring to solving the world’s most pressing problems while creating new, influential role models for future leaders.”
