In September 2015, Ph.D. Candidate Amber Hickey accepted a new position as NYC SALT's Outreach Coordinator. NYC SALT is an arts non-profit providing photography education, as well as college and career support, to low-income immigrant youth in New York City. As the Outreach Coordinator, Amber's work centers around bringing NYC SALT's programming to New York City community organizations and Title I public schools.
