About

Dylan Garcia is a Junior in Gallatin (As of Spring 2018) studying Sociology and Urban Sustainability. He is focused on studying how cities function efficiently and can work as sustainable and healthy communities. He is an Education Coordinator at the Office of Sustainability at NYU, where he works on the EcoReps peer to peer environmental education program, and has worked in the past for The NYC Park Department Sustainable Facilities Division, and for the NRDC. For the Fellowship, Dylan is working with the Loisaida Center, a Puerto Rican and Latinx cultural center that focuses on cultural placemaking and placekeeping. Over the summer, Dylan is helping Loisaida with a number of the many projects in the works. The center is working on building a makerspace to serve the community and provide useful tools and technology as a way to help members of the community in job training and artistic endeavors. The center is also in need of collateral reports on some of their recent and current projects including the Loisaida Festival and the Artist in Residencies. Dylan will also be continuing work at NYU’s Office of Sustainability this summer.
