Dinner Date Auction

Flour Informational Meeting

February started with a general meeting with

Flour. Representatives Carlos and Janet

discussed the different positions available at

Flour and offered tips on transitioning from

college life to professional life. Although the

professional workplace has less structure and

less “freedom” than college life, with the right

attitude and effective relationships, anyone

can learn to adapt. These tips are all gathered

from the book “How to Succeed in your First

Job”, which they strongly recommend.

A week before Valentine’s Day, SHPE hosted their annual Dinner Date Auction, where

SHPE members and other students auctioned themselves off for a date at local restaurants

near College Station and Bryan. The event raised about more than $600! Needless to say,

the event was a great success.

Budgeting & Summer Planning

As college students, it is hard for us to get used

to spending our money wisely. Luckily,

MentorSHPE hosted the Budgeting & Summer

Planning workshop where SHPEsters learned

about different ways to save money and how to

prevent themselves from wasting it. The

workshop also provided options for having a

productive summer, such as attending summer

school, finding a job, or conducting research.

Spring break is just around the corner, but so are exams! To do your best on any test, make sure you carefully read the question. Do not make any assumptions about what the question might be. Also, if you feel that you do not know the answer to a question, skip the question and continue with your exam. Other parts of the exam might help you figure out the answer. Overall, keep track of the time and do your best!

SHPE also provide ways to give back to the community. In this event, SHPE members helped examine donated goods and sort them into appropriate boxes. Thanks to the amount of help we had, we were able to sort more than three tons of food in about two hours. Way to go SHPEsters!

professionally. He also explained his role as President and suggested

to stay involved in SHPE even after college.

Shpesters spent a Saturday morning at Zoomz, a place to play paintball in the

Bryan/College Station area. The group was split into two teams, and every-

one did their best to avoid getting shot. Although some left with bruises,

everyone left with a great time.
