SHPE National Conference: The 2017 National SHPE Conference was held in Kansas City, MO and we had the pleasure of sending 19 of our members to the conference. We had enormous help from the Dean of Engineering, Daryl Pines, and much financial support from UMD’s departments of Engineering most notably the Mechanical Engineering Department. We had our President Keyanna Franklin receive a full-time job offer from Accenture and many other members receive internship opportuntites from this event.
