TLA is a festival hosted by GT-SHPE and other Latino organizations on campus to celebrate Hispanic culture, with food from across Hispanic regions, stunning music and dance performances, and fun games. It's our biggest event of the year, and we put a lot into showing how much our heritage means to us.

Developing professional skills is very important to us, but it's equally important that our members get to know each other and can rely on one another to make their career journey easier. That's why we host bonding events throughout the year and encourage new friendships within SHPE. We also host events just for freshmen, because starting at a new school without knowing many people is hard, and we want our new members to have friendly faces on campus.

This event, pioneered by SHPE, invites young students from our community to Georgia Tech's campus for a day of engineering challenges, from designing cool structures to building model rockets, and panels led by SHPE members pursuing STEM careers. Students always leave with a newfound appreciation for engineering.

Our organization partners with high schools in the Atlanta area with large Latino student populations to host workshops about careers in STEM. Many of these students come from immigrant families and may not know much about the college application process or what a STEM career looks like, so we answer their questions and make sure they know a career in STEM is possible for them, regardless of their background.
