Deans' Summit
The 2011 SHPE Deans' Summit will be held on Thursday and Friday, October 27‐28, in Anaheim, CA at the Hilton Anaheim Hotel. Anaheim is the second largest city in Orange County and is the center of Orange County's visitor industry, which attracts nearly 45 million people annually.
The Deans' Summit will bring leaders from academe together to develop an Action Plan for how SHPE can partner with Hispanic Serving Institutions and majority institutions to increase the recruitment and retention of Hispanics in science and engineering disciplines.
The Summit will be different from other similar topics, because it includes a strategy session where the participants will be tasked to develop a tangible roadmap that defines the relationship between SHPE Inc., SHPE Foundation and targeted universities.
The goal is to conclude the conference with measurable steps/policies that SHPE and academic institutions can immediately adopt in a realized effort to achieve our goals. Representatives from the National Action Council for Minorities in Engineering (NACME), American Institutes for Research and the National Science Foundation (NSF) have been invited to help provide context for the Summit.
