Kayla Jean Mueller
(August 14, 1988 – c. February 6, 2015) was an American human rights activist and humanitarian aid worker from Prescott, Arizona. She was taken captive in
August 2013 in Aleppo, Syria,
after leaving a Doctors Without
Borders hospital. Media had long reported that a 26-year-old
American aid worker was being held by the Islamic State of Syria
(ISIS) without naming her, at her family's request. Her captivity and death
were widely reported upon confirmation of her death.
In October
2015, Kayla became the first person to be posthumously inducted into Northern Arizona
University's college of Social and Behavioral Sciences Hall of Fame.
