Hunter College AANAPISI Project (HCAP) is a program funded by the U.S. Department of Education’s Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions (AANAPISI) Program to enhance academic and student support services for Asian American and Pacific Islander and other high-need students at Hunter College, including first-generation college goers, English Language Learners, and students from immigrant families.
Academic support for students with multilingual backgrounds through courses, summer and winter seminars, and workshops on academic reading, writing, and presenting.
Leadership opportunities for students through a community-based internship program at Asian/Asian American-serving organizations in NYC and HCAP Peer Leaders Training Program.
Outreach events, courses centered on AAPI communities and mental health, referrals with NYC community mental health centers, and collaboration with departments and services at Hunter College.

Would you benefit from a creative writing class that would help improve your overall reading, speaking, writing, and listening skills in university courses? Join writer Bushra Rehman for a series of creative writing workshops in which we will explore our relationship to this vibrant, resilient metropolis we may call home. Together, we will generate new writing, learn about revision and publishing, practice techniques for overcoming writing blocks and celebrate our creativity.
Each workshop will include a series of short readings and generative writing prompts as well as time to share our writing.
