RICHMOND, Va. – Senior Jaide Hinds-Clarke was awarded the James A. Sartain Award for sociology announced by the department.
This is the second-straight season a UR athlete has received the honor after Jacob Roberson from the Football team earned the award in 2019. Hinds-Clarke will graduate next month, completing majors in sociology and leadership studies, and a minor in WGSS.
The Westwood, N.J. native has worked for social change on and off campus. She works for the Office of Common Ground, where she helped to create and administer LGBTQ programs for the student body. She founded Shades of Pride, an affinity group for LGBTQ students of color at UR, upon recognizing the lack of structures and spaces that fostered a sense of community for this population. She interned for the Virginia Center for Inclusive Communities, where she developed and ran programs, including a week-long social justice retreat for high school students. For her campus and community activism, Jaide received a Jones Impact Award for Black Excellence, a CCE Service for Change Award, and a Diversity Richmond Black & Bold Award for leadership.
This summer (pandemic allowing), she will intern with CarMax in Richmond as their Basketball League Intern to create opportunities for 11 to 17-year-olds to develop interpersonal, teamwork, and leadership skills through basketball. Then, she will begin her graduate studies in Sport Leadership at VCU.
About the Sartain Award:
The department established an award in honor of the late sociology professor, James A. Sartain, in 1986. The Sartain Award is awarded each year to a graduating senior who best exemplifies the qualities personified by Dr. Sartain: scholarship, humanitarianism, integrity, and commitment to the ideals of the University.
About Dr. James Sartain:
Dr. James Sartain was the Irving May Professor of Human Relations, an endowed chair position in sociology. Students were Professor Sartain's love, and education was his mission. It is no surprise that he received the university's Distinguished Educator Award in 1984. During his 23 years as a faculty member (1963-1986), Professor Sartain served as department chair, UR's Methodist minister, and the director of the Wesley Foundation. He was instrumental in developing the university's advising program, as well as the interdisciplinary studies program. Dr. Sartain used his sociological expertise to champion racial justice causes, including serving as a consultant for Richmond Public Schools as they desegregated and for the US President's Commission on Civil Rights Under the Law in 1982-1983.
