Closing out the SHPE DC 2025–26 term in the best way possible with our Final SHPE DC Leadership Retreat and a well-earned K1 Speed Racing social with the new SHPE DC Board.

What a year it’s been—filled with growth, impact, and community. As we wrap up this chapter, we’re grateful for the leadership, collaboration, and dedication that helped strengthen SHPE DC and expand our reach alongside our members and community partners.

Now, it’s time to shift gears and look ahead. The 2026–27 term is a new opportunity to build on this momentum, continue empowering our members, and push the SHPE DC community even further.

Here’s to fresh beginnings, stronger connections, and another year of growth and impact ahead! 🚀

Thank you to everyone who came out to our final General Body Meeting at Astro Beer Hall last week! 🎉

A special shoutout to Andonny Garcia for delivering an engaging presentation on Failing Forward. We had meaningful conversations about embracing setbacks, learning from challenges, and turning obstacles into opportunities for growth.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make this event such a great way to close out the semester. We look forward to seeing you at future SHPE events! 🚀
