The Annual OSARC Student Club/Student Leader Awards has nominated the DFA NYU for the Organization of the Year award. We are so honored to be a part of this group of nominees, and to have our work recognized this year. But it couldn't have been possible without our amazing faculty advisor, mentors, alumni, teams and members. THANK YOU! In addition, The Annual OSARC Student Club/Student Leader Awards has nominated the DFA NYU for the Pivot Prize. The Pivot Prize is awarded to the organization that has done a great job at transitioning from our regular activities into the online and "zoom" world. Even though, this past year hasn't been easy, we were able to maintain the integrity of the club and continue with our social projects. Our teams and mentors have been very helpful in helping in this transition. THANK YOU!

The Annual OSARC Student Club/Student Leader Awards has awarded DFA NYU with a Bridge Builder award for our FREEdge project. The award recognizes clubs that have worked to establish or support connections between student and outside organizations.

We are so honored to be recognized for the work FREEdge project has done this past year. NYU FREEdge is an NYU MakerSpace partnered initiative by DFA NYU that facilitates the provision and use of community fridges at NYU. FREEdge aims to reduce food insecurity through a human-centered design approach. By facilitating campus engagement, we create stronger community bonds while reducing food wastage. In the past year, FREEdge team has help food drives, and donating to local community fridges and pantries. The team is also working on some exciting collaborations, so stay tuned for updates!

Big THANK YOU to our mentors, team members and faculty advisor.
