Inclusion at NAU
At NAU, inclusion is more than a value, it’s how we build community. Our campus is home to students from various backgrounds and we are committed to creating an environment where every Lumberjack feels seen, heard, and valued.
Your story, background, and perspective are part of what makes the NAU community strong. Celebrating what makes each student unique and creating spaces where everyone feels welcome, supported, and empowered to be themselves is a top priority. Whether you’re finding your voice, exploring your identity, or connecting with new perspectives, you’ll find community here that supports your journey.
