                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 5, 2005

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Hispanic 
Organization of Students in Technology (HOST), the New Jersey Institute 
of Technology's student chapter of the Society of Hispanic Professional 
Engineers (SHPE). HOST/SHPE was honored for its outstanding 
achievements at the Region IV Student Leadership Conference (RSLC) Gala 
Banquet on March 19, 2005.
  The Hispanic Organization of Students in Technology/Society of 
Hispanic Professional Engineers represents a group of extremely 
talented and dedicated students who, at a young age, have already shown 
amazing promise and success. The HOST/SHPE RSLC offers new members the 
opportunity to share valuable knowledge and learn from other SHPE 
leaders. The goal of RSLC is to provide students with the leadership 
skills necessary for success in the business world, as well as the 
organizational, managerial, and technical skills essential for 
developing and enhancing the infrastructure of their respective SHPE 
student chapters and pre-college programs. In addition, students learn 
how to interact and network with SHPE corporate officials, which can 
lead to long-lasting, professional relationships. Under the strong 
leadership of Daniel Lozano, the conference has been organized to 
assemble more than 200 students from across the eastern United States, 
including Puerto Rico.
  Today, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the achievements of 
the students in HOST/SHPE, as well as the strong commitment on the part 
of the RSLC Committee and Daniel Loranzo to organize this worthwhile 
event. I applaud the students' dedication and their success, and wish 
them the best as they head towards an already bright future.
