The Society of Hispanic Engineers (SHE) is the Rutgers University student chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE). The Society of Hispanic Engineers at Rutgers University was founded in 1984 by seven Hispanic engineering students. They saw the need for an organization where Hispanic engineering students could meet to address their cultural concerns. The society was founded with the motto “Recruit, Retain, and Graduate minority students majoring in engineering, math, or science.” Initially, SHE was established independently from SHPE. In 1988 SHE became a recognized chapter of SHPE.
