The Psychological Sciences Department helps to provide NAU students solid preparation for a variety of careers and advanced study
The Department of Psychological Sciences is focused on the scientific study of cognitive, social/interpersonal, and behavioral processes, and seeks to advance evidence-based knowledge through high-quality teaching, research, and service.
The Department has over 30 full-time faculty members with expertise in many psychological science sub-disciplines. Our faculty are dedicated to mentoring students and to offering opportunities for experiential learning, such as independent research, internship/fieldwork and faculty-led study abroad experiences.
This Giving Day, we invite you to elevate what’s possible for our students by supporting this key fund that makes a lasting difference:
Department of Psychology Student Development Fund
Contributions to this fund directly enhance Psychological Sciences so we can support initiatives to provide faculty and students with the tools to succeed. Funds will support initiatives such as student well-being and engagement, student and faculty professional development and general department.
For example, our program, “Psychological Sciences: Focus on Celebrating Undergraduate Students” (PsychFOCUS), provides our undergraduate students with a sense of community within our program and provide the students and faculty an opportunity to get to know each other outside of the classroom. Another example is helping us support guest speakers, seminars, and symposiums featuring renowned psychologists or researchers to expose students to cutting-edge topics and trends in the field.
The ultimate goal is to enhance the department's academic, research, and community engagement activities and leveraging opportunities for students, alumni, faculty, and our department in general.
Your generosity fuels innovation, access, and excellence at NAU. Every gift—no matter the size—helps create life-changing experiences for our students. Thank you for believing in the power of Lumberjack giving.
