There is so much we are all juggling - schoolwork, jobs, family, friends, and the state of the world. Oftentimes, we don’t always know for sure what is going to happen to that assignment, that internship application, our family member’s health, or even our own neighborhood or home countries. How do we deal with how scary the uncertainty can be? And how do we build confidence in ourselves despite not always being perfect and sometimes just not totally knowing what will happen? In this two part series, we will address these questions. 🪄
In Part I, we will hear from an intergenerational and multi-cultural panel about their experiences and strategies for dealing with uncertainty.
Date: Tuesday, February 10, 3-4:30pm
Location: Asian Affinity Space, Thomas Hunter 312
Open to Hunter students of ALL identities. Attendance at both events is not required to sign up.
Free Food! 🥘
Stay tuned for Building Confidence in Part II on April 28! 🤩

Another HCAP event from Fall 2025! In collaboration with the Asian American Studies Program, McNair Scholars Program, and the Asian Student Affinity Space, students participated in an informal networking dinner with faculty across different disciplines. A panel of first-gen faculty shared their experiences on navigating mentorship! ✏️
Happy New Year! HCAP wanted to share a recap of our past events from last semester. November 2025 was stacked with events - here are photos from our That Post-Grad Life: Alumni Panel & Networking Event, in collaboration with the Asian Student Affinity Space 🤩 Current students were able to chat with HCAP grads about navigating post-grad life and exploring different career paths, from business/tech to social work/psychology. 💬
