March 2023 Recap

OU SHPE Familia Monthly Recap

See what the OU SHPE Familia has been up to during March!

We attended the LeaderSHPE Live Conference!

LeaderSHPE Live is a new in-person conference that aims to equip members to be leaders in their chapter, workplace, and community by enhancing their professional skills and expanding their network through workshops and events. Shoutout to Christian Newkirk, Dayna Flores, and Bianca Torrez for going and representing OU in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas!

We volunteered at the Loveworks Leadership: Girls Event 2023!

Loveworks Leadership: Girls Event is for empowering 6th-8th grade girls to boldly lead and uncovering the strengths already inside of them. SHPE had the opportunity to host a “Women in STEM” booth here! Special shoutout to our volunteers and our Community Service Chair, Lauren Cutherell, for setting up this opportunity for us to empower young girls during Women's History Month!

We hosted a Boeing Meet & Greet with NSBE and WIE!

In collaboration with the National Society of Black Engineers and Women in Engineering, we had the chance to host a Q&A with Boeing reps Paul, Harvey, Fabrizio, Erin, and Carol. Thank you to all of our guests who were able to come and speak with us!

We volunteered at the Second Chance Animal Sanctuary!

Last weekend we got to visit our furry friends at the Norman Second Chance Animal Sanctuary! We had a great group of volunteers to help entertain and comfort the shelter's dogs and cats. Shoutout to 2022 Graduate Freddy Vega for making the trip all the way from Fort Worth to volunteer with us!
