Two UNC graduates received the GAA’s Young Alumni Awards for their efforts at a banquet Friday.

Sindhura Citineni of Morrisville, N.C., and Tony Deifell of San Francisco, Calif., were named winners.

Citineni, now a UNC dental student, started Hunger Lunch and later expanded it into the nonprofit organization Nourish International with chapters at 23 campuses.

Deifell, who graduated in 1991, helped create the APPLES service-learning program. Since graduation he has created several arts-based public-service organizations.

The GAA has given the awards since 1989 to alumni age 40 or younger who have made significant contributions to the University.
