Last month on October 20th, HCAP's Transfer Pipeline Program Mentors held a workshop on "a transfer student's guide to self-care". This event focused on acquiring practical tools to bolster one's self-care routine, learn about campus resources, and gain insights from fellow Hunter students as they shared tips for college success. During these times of the semester where things can be challenging to balance, we encourage you to take from the lessons learned at this event and engage in self-care using realistic goals and mindfulness. Pictured is a screenshot from the event and a self-care tool you can use to help yourself!

In celebration of AANAPISI Week, Hunter College AANAPISI Project (HCAP) reached out to the community for impact statements and received incredible responses from students and alumni who have benefitted from our programming and AANAPISI funding.
Swipe to learn more about how funding institutions like HCAP (Hunter College AANAPISI Project) are critical to supporting the educational success of AAPI students.
#AANAPISIWeek
@apiascholars
@abi.bmcc.hunter
As we continue to post for #AANAPISIWeek, we would like to emphasize just why AANAPISI grant funding is so important!
34% of undergrads at Hunter identify as Asian or Pacific Islander. AANAPISI programs like Hunter College AANAPISI Project (HCAP) are designed to address the barriers and challenges faced by AAPI students in college.
Swipe to see infographics from @apiascholars highlighting information about the increasing AANHPIs (Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander) population and the lack of funding for AANAPISIs in comparison to other MSIs (Minority Strengthening Institutions). Our hopes are to build awareness around the importance of funding institutions like HCAP (Hunter College AANAPISI Project), which are critical to supporting the educational success of AANHPI students.
