HACU holds Capital One Launchpad: Legacy & Leadership Program for college students

The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities, Thurgood Marshall College Fund and Capital One are bringing college students from across the U.S. to the five-day immersion experience at the Capital One Headquarters in McLean, Virginia., July 8-12, 2024.

The joint immersion experience is focused on career exploration and professional development. Students will have the opportunity to work directly with Capital One mentors who will guide them toward a final capstone presentation that will conclude the week's events. Upon completion of the five-day program, students are eligible for a stipend to support their academic studies.

Additionally, they will be sponsored to attend the ¡Adelante! Leadership Institute at HACU's 38th Annual Conference, which will take place from November 1-3, 2024, at the Gaylord Rockies Resort and Convention Center. Click here for a full list of participating students.
