Our Programs

SHPEtinas

"The purpose of SHPEtinas is to build a community that empowers women in STEM and help them navigate through a male-dominated work and learning environment while accomplishing their own goals. We have built a safe and encouraging environment that motivates women to do their best in their professional, academic, and personal life, while at the same time becoming the best version of themselves."

Here at UNT SHPEtinas, our mission is: "We want to form a safe and empowering environment for every woman in STEM so that they get the proper resources and representation in the male-dominated STEM field.

UNT SHPEtinas chapter strives to help our SHPEtinas form strong bonds and friendships that will help us grow as young professionals, and will work hard to provide workshops, informational panels, and various activities to guide and teach our SHPEtinas how to navigate the professional world, as well as giving them tons of support!
