NAU has launched the Native Roots, Native Futures campaign to raise $5 million to:

• Enhance the academic experience of native students
• Improve retention and graduation rates
• Enrich the campus community by increasing visibility of Native American cultures, traditions, and programs
• Strengthen recruitment of Native American students, faculty and staff

Our first goal is to design and build a Native American Cultural Center on the Flagstaff campus. To learn more about the campaign, click here.

 

Native American
Cultural Center Project

The Native American cultural center will be a focal point and platform for the diverse traditions, perspectives and contributions of Native American culture on the NAU campus. Located at the center of the north campus, the Center will welcome students, scholars, tribal communities, the university community and the general public, providing opportunities to engage with and learn from each other. A "home away from home" for students, it will also house activities that support student recruitment and retention, serving as a point of contact for native groups on campus and programs involving NAU and the tribes. The Center will embody native values and will serve as a symbol of NAU's ongoing commitment to Native Americans, integrating native design features and sustainable design principles, with participation from students, alumni, faculty and staff.
