Sofia Oviedo
Dr. Sofia Oviedo was appointed as Research Programs Director at Eugenio María de Hostos Community College. Reporting to the President, and indirectly to her Chief of Staff, Dr. Oviedo will be responsible for ensuring the alignment of multiple college-wide grant funded initiatives. Working with faculty, staff and students, Dr. Oviedo will ensure both the mission of the College and grant activities align with the priorities of our institution. Primarily, Dr. Oviedo will manage and oversee the fifteen million dollar grant given to Hostos in 2021 by the philanthropist, author, and activist Ms. MacKenzie Scott – the largest single gift in the College’s history and one of the largest in the history of The City University of New York (CUNY). Serving as the project manager of the grant, Dr. Oviedo will develop and manage the quantitative and qualitative methods needed to ensure adherence to the gift and other grants.
