“One Determined Person Can Make a Significant Difference”

 

The Center for Multicultural Education and Programs (The Center) invites the NYU community to nominate an NYU community member who through their academic excellence, leadership, community service or expression of talents has had an impact on the NYU community of color. In addition to student awards we have three awards for an NYU alumni, faculty and administrator that demonstrate outstanding commitment to student development and service. To nominate an individual for an award you must be a New York University staff, administrator, faculty member, alumni or student.
