HEAR US 2026 Information Sessions

A grey bullhorn with the words HEAR US written inside of it. The circle around the bullhorn reads NYU | Tisch School of the Arts at the top, and Honoring, Elevating, and Recapitalizing Underrepresented Stories at the bottom.

HEAR US is a mentorship program celebrating and advancing student projects that center underrepresented voices and stories. In academic year 2025-26, HEAR US continues to embody Tisch's Community Engagement values by mentoring and funding students who are dedicated to enriching our diverse community through the creation and leadership of artistic and scholarly works.
