VANESSA HUA




On April 2, 2019, author Vanessa Hua came to Poly to discuss her works and her creative process. She shared with us how she came up with ideas for her book short story collection, Deceit and Other Possibilities, which received an Asian/Pacific American Award in Literature and was a finalist for a California Book Award. She gave examples of real-life stories that she had read in the paper and explained how she incorporated elements into her vignettes. He book, A River of Stars, was on the Washington Post and NPR’s Best Books of 2018 lists, and was been called a "marvel" by O, The Oprah Magazine, and "delightful" by The Economist.

Hi! My name is Matthew, and I’m a 2020 Global Scholar at the Polytechnic School. I have been studying French at Poly for the past three years. A highlight of attending Poly has been the Global Initiatives Program. Through this program, our family has hosted students from Victor DuRuy and Saint Martin schools in France, as well as from Nirayama HS in Japan; I also have had the opportunity to visit France as part of this exchange program; our group travel blog is: http://polygipfrance.blogspot.com I am part of LaunchX Team Emergence. We are creating an environmentally conscious startup to increase the lifecycle of external power chargers and electrical cords, in an effort to protect our environment from e-waste. We will be heading to MIT on May 4, 2019, to compete as Global Finalists and will be pitching our business to gain funding and support.
