Isabella Uribe Receives Jay P. Young Excellence Award

The Jay P. Young Excellence Award is annually given by the Anthropology department to fund extracurricular research, internships, field studies, or conference opportunities for students. This year's winner is Anthropology major Isabella Uribe, whose Young Award will support the completion of her ethnographic film "Oldies But Goodies."

Uribe is making a documentary exploring "iconic aesthetic elements of Chicanx culture—including lowrider cars, La Virgen de Guadalupe, Oldies music, and Pachuco fashion." With two collaborators, Anthropology students Amani Shabazz and Nakai Brock, Uribe will be finalizing her documentary and submitting it to film festival circuits.
