"Native Roots, Native Futures" Campaign
NAU has launched the Native Roots, Native Futures campaign which will:
- 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
Campaign goals include $7 million for the Native American Cultural Center and $2 million for scholarships and programs.
President John Haeger has generously invested $4 million in building construction. To date, $2,856,200 in individual gifts and pledges have come in to build the Native American Cultural Center, leaving $143,800 yet to be raised. An additional $325,650 has been raised toward the $2 million goal for scholarships and programs, leaving $1,674,000 to raise.

Building
The dream of opening the Native American Cultural Center is a reality, and our goal of raising $3 million dollars for the building construction is almost met (only $143,800 left to raise!). With your help, we can achieve our goal by October 14 when the doors officially open.
Scholarships and Programs
The cost of a college education continues to increase and there is a need to develop and enhance programs to increase retention and help our students be successful. An investment in a student scholarship is an investment in our future.
Won't you invest in the future of our Native American students? Give now.
