The Chinese American Professors Association in Connecticut (CAPA-CT) was established on March 22, 2014, at Yale University. As one of the earliest non-profit organizations dedicated to serving Chinese and Chinese-descent faculty across the state’s higher education institutions, CAPA-CT plays a pivotal role. Our members represent 33 universities and research institutions where over a thousand Chinese Americans pursue their academic and professional careers.
Statement of Purpose:
Empowering Connections, Cultivating Excellence: CAPA CT is dedicated to uniting and supporting individuals of Chinese descent within Connecticut's higher education community. Our mission is to foster meaningful interactions and mutual support among our members while advancing professional development opportunities for faculty and students of Chinese heritage. Additionally, we facilitate collaborative engagements between institutions and communities within Connecticut and Asian scholars worldwide, fostering global partnerships. By offering dynamic forums for cultural, scientific, and interdisciplinary discourse, we enrich our members' experiences and contribute to broader societal advancement.
