As we prepare to form our second cohort of mentors for the transfer pipeline program, the HCAP team are reminiscing our Summer Gathering we held last week where all members of the transfer pipeline program were invited to mingle and, for some, meet in-person for the first time! It was so wonderful to conclude this journey together as a community before starting anew with our next and upcoming cohort.
Last month, HCAP and Asian American Studies Program students met with NYC Comptroller Brad Lander to discuss their participation in AAPI Classroom, a new program to increase awareness of AAPI history in honor of AAPI Heritage Month. Designed by Coalition for Asian American Children and Families and the Controller's Office, the program trained Hunter College students to share AAPI histories through reading aloud a text to students in NYC public elementary school classrooms. We're so proud of our students!
This week, HCAP was able to celebrate the end of the year with graduating students, HCAP students who were able to present on their works from this past academic year, recipients of the AANAPISI scholarship, and friends and family. We thank all those who joined us for this celebration and hope everyone has a wonderful summer! Congrats to our 2 raffle winners and 3 Human Bingo winners as well! 🎉🥳🎈
