Jacob is a CUNY ASAP student at City Tech, studying Business & Technology of Fashion. Between classes, the Fashion Futuristic Club, and big plans to launch his own fashion brand, his schedule stays packed, but he’s always building toward something he’s excited about.

Outside the work, Jacob’s the kind of student who’s just as likely to be talking fashion ideas with friends as he is planning his next move. For him, college isn’t just about getting through it; it’s about creating while he’s in it.

What made things smoother was finding real support along the way. Through CUNY ASAP, Jacob found advisors who are “so understanding and so kind,” plus a community that made campus feel familiar fast, people who actually make the day-to-day feel lighter.
