    Listening Session: Hip Hop & Hope
    African American Cultural Center (AACC)
    4:30 PM

    This listening session brings the energy, honesty, and resilience of Hip Hop into a space focused on hope, purpose, and personal motivation.
    Just as Hip Hop is rooted in storytelling, hustle, and rising from challenges, this dialogue invites you to reflect on the systems that keep you moving forward.

    Whether your motivation comes from family, dreams, culture, community, or your own inner fire, this session is a chance to share your truth and hear the motivations of others.
    The goal is to uplift, connect, and remind each other of the strength we hold!

    This event is designed to center students in the UConn College of Engineering. All are welcome to attend. 

    Snacks will be provided
