NDRI congratulates Ms. Sandoval on her receipt of this award. The Jagna Sharff Award is given annually to a student who excels in the area of Urban Anthropology. This award was established in 2001 by the friends, family, and faculty in honor of Jagna Sharff, Anthropologist, who taught for several years at the Center for Worker Education at CCNY/CUNY until her death in 2001. Ms. Sandoval is an Ethnographic Data & Analysis Coordinator at NDRI and is currently working with Principal Investigator Samuel Friedman, PhD on a project funded by NIDA, “Staying Safe: Long-Term IDUs Who Avoided HIV & HCV” (R01 DA019383).
Ms. Sandoval expects to receive her BA from CCNY/CUNY in Interdisciplinary Studies, with a major in Sociology and minor in Anthropology, by December of 2006. Her specific interests include HIV/Hep C, substance abuse, and gender issues in urban society. After graduation, Ms. Sandoval will continue her studies and aims to obtain a Masters in Public Health.
