NYU Metro Center is proud of the effort and diligence that all of the teams and staff members have demonstrated throughout the entirety of the 2022-2023 academic year. We extend a well-deserved congratulations to those staff members that received special honors and awards during this year's NYU Steinhardt Recognition Event, an annual awards ceremony dedicated to acknowledging the contributions of the college’s administrators, research, technical, and clerical staff.
NYU Metro Center is thrilled to announce that our very own Veronica Osminina was the recipient of Steinhardt’s 2022-2023 Distinguished Professional Researcher Award. The award recognizes researchers who have demonstrated exceptional service in conducting experiments, collecting and analyzing results, and performing duties associated with laboratory or research programs.
In addition, we applaud each of member of the NYU Metro Center family nominated for special honors this year.
