Sophia Plata

> Talk to as many people as you can, make as many connections as you can. You

Annamarie Valdez

> I first got involved with SHPE as a student at the Colorado School of Mines

2015


> Through one of my classes, my professor ended up introducing me to SHPE. I was
> able to get amazing mentors there who put me on the right path.




Mariana Briones

> My advisor told me,'You are enough. You don't have to be better than everyone
> else, just be you.' And I feel like the moment she told me that, she took a
> lot of pressure off my shoulders and I just embraced who I was.



2015
Mariana Briones

> You don't have to be an officer to make an impact on SHPE. I have never been
> an officer and yet I feel like I've had so much impact on my chapter. It's
> just a matter of wanting to help others.
