Welcome to a special episode of SHPE Out Loud, the podcast that amplifies the voices of Hispanics in STEM. We are kicking off a special series to celebrate SHPE's 50th Anniversary "SHPE Out Loud - 50 stories for 50 years."
In this inaugural episode, join me as we dive into the inspiring and profound journey of Julio Grapa, a distinguished SHPE member receiving the prestigious Rodrigo Garcia Founder's Award. This conversation is divided into two parts, exploring Julio's childhood, 30+ year SHPE journey, and unlikely career development, followed by his courageous battle against a devastating cancer diagnosis. Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions, and yes, keep those tissues handy.
But wait, there's more! This episode captures a candid, pre-interview moment with Julio, adding a touch of casual authenticity to the narrative. It's a rare glimpse into the personal connection that fuels SHPE's vibrant community.
The 50 stories for SHPE’s 50th Anniversary promise riveting conversations with SHPE legends such as Miguel Alemany, Diana Gomez, Will Davis, Emily Anne Vargas, and many more – past and present board members, STAR Award Winners, and industry creators will all be featured!
Our next episode drops in early January, marking the beginning of a weekly schedule. Stay tuned for a sneak peek of the upcoming episode featuring Miguel Alemany at the end of the episode.
