NAU Mathematics and Statistics Scholarships

Joanna Wheaton was the first Data Science major graduate from NAU, a Flagstaff community builder, and a selfless activist. Through her studies of Political Science, Urban and Regional Planning, Environmental Studies, Data Science, Math, and Economics, Joanna devoted herself to bringing her vision of a better world to light. Her passing in 2021 was a loss to the Flagstaff community and all who knew her, but she left a legacy of service, and the desire to create a more loving, just society.
