Shannon Taylor will graduate from the University of Arizona in May with a Bachelor of Science in geographical information systems technology. The work she's trained for – cartography, or the study and creation of maps – is, in her view, the modern extension of the White Mountain Apache's longstanding tradition as protectors of their homelands. "My ancestors, they fought for the land. They're the reasons we're still here, because they did not give up," said Taylor, who, as a University of Arizona Online student, completed her degree entirely from home. Her next chapter involves Arizona Online's Professional Science Master's program in resilience practice. https://bit.ly/4u0mNxt
