Congratulations to Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of Occupational Therapy Kristie Patten Koenig for winning an NYU Steinhardt Faculty Development and Diversity Innovation Project grant.
The funds are awarded to faculty members across the school who are working to heighten the community’s awareness of equity, inclusion, and diversity. Specifically, Koenig’s grant will fund a series of short films offering information about neurodiversity — created by neurodiverse students.
Explaining the importance of this project, Koenig said, “As the community of students who are on the autism spectrum grows, there is a need to educate the broader NYU community on neurodiversity.”
