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.
