The Omar Azfar Contest

Omar Azfar, Ph.D., was an economist, scholar, and governance expert focusing on the economics of crime and corruption. In May 2007 Omar was diagnosed with bone cancer, passing away on January 21, 2009. Omar was a valued and trusted and colleague of so many of us, inside and outside of academia. Though his expertise lay in the economics of crime and corruption, he was a great lover of people and their potential for improving the world. With the support of Omar’s family, the economics department is pleased to continue the Annual Omar Azfar Award for Best Writing on Economics and Justice. The contest is open to all John Jay undergraduate students. The annual award of $1,000 will be earned by the student preparing the best paper on “Economics and Corruption” as determined by a committee designated by the Economics Department in consultation with Omar’s family.
