JBMSHP alumna awarded the 2025 Bustoz Memorial Mathematics Scholarship

Coree Palmer received the 2025 Joaquin Bustoz Memorial Mathematics Scholarship at the School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences (SoMSS) awards ceremony on April 18, 2025. Coree attended the JBMSHP in 2022, successfully completing the CSE 110: Principles of Programming with Java course. She is a currently sophomore pursuing a Computational Mathematical Sciences BS and has conducted research in Knot Theory, specializing in Python-based algorithm development to compute the Milnor's Invariant. Coree served a success coach for the JBMSHP in the summer of 2024 and will serve as a math tutor in 2025.  

The Joaquin Bustoz Memorial Mathematics Scholarship is named in honor of Professor Joaquin Bustoz, who taught mathematics at Arizona State University from 1975-2003. The scholarship is offered in partnership with the Joaquin Bustoz Math-Science Honors Program. Joaquin Bustoz’s defining characteristic was his passion not only for the field of mathematics but also for helping talented minority students achieve their full potential.
