The Washington University Chapter was founded in the fall of 2016 by Dylan Zubata and Michael Pichardo. Within SHPE National, we are in Region VI, which primarily serves the Midwest. The WashU Chapter emphasizes professional and personal development via events such as resume/interview workshops, alumni/professional speaker panels, and networking events both small and large. We prioritize a community where students can speak to one another and have a support network of peers.
