On Thursday, October 3rd, a joint social between SHPE, NSBE, and SWE was held to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage (HHM) Month. HHM runs from September 15th to October 15th and is observed by celebrating the histories, cultures, and contributions of American citizens whose ancestors came from Spain, Mexico, the Carribbean, Central and South America. The social was held at Los Lupes Mexican Restaurant, a local, family-owned Latin restaurant that has brought traditional Mexican food to Dallas for over 40 years.
We had over 60 members in attendance from all three organizations. The social event began with open networking as members got to know each other through an interactive ice breaker. Then, the leadership of our three organizations, Zaineb Ahmad (SWE), Tanio Sanders (NSBE, and Fernando Ceballos (SHPE) opened the event by kicking off the dinner a warm welcome. Fernando invited everyone to take a photo of the flyer (insert link to flyer) and post to their social media. The event was a blast and members were excited to share their experiences with each other. Our three organizations are looking forward to continuing our long lasting relationship with more joint professional development events and socials!
