Donna Brogan (born July 12, 1939) is an American statistician and professor emeritus of statistics at Emory University. She earned a B.A. in mathematics from Gettysburg College in 1960, an MS in statistics from Purdue University in 1962, and a Ph.D. in statistics from Iowa State University in 1967 under the supervision of Joseph Sendransk.
She is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, received the Emory University Thomas Jefferson Award in 1993,[1] and was awarded the Iowa State University Distinguished Alumni Award in 2002.[2]
Personal life
Brogan grew up in a working-class neighborhood, and was the first in her family to go to college.[3] She was married to Charles Ruhl, and had two children, although their son died in infancy.[3] Brogan and Ruhl later divorced, and Brogan lived as a single mother for several years. As a woman in mathematics in the 1950s and 1960s, she suffered from many incidents of sex discrimination, including issues with unequal compensation from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill and Emory University, as well as a legal battle with the DeKalb County voter registrar, which involved the American Civil Liberties Union.[3]
Work
Brogan has worked in the areas of mental health statistics and analysis of complex survey data.
Organizational Contributions
In 1971, Brogan founded the Caucus for Women in Statistics, and helped to establish the standing ASA Committee on Women in Statistics.[4]
