NAU Giving Day presents an excellent opportunity to invest in crafting a world-class experience for engineering students at NAU. Your support fuels innovation and creativity that will impact students' lives long after graduation.

Support Student Clubs

This NAU Giving Day, you can make an impact for student clubs and organizations with SCE.  Student club participation encourages experiential learning and builds skills beyond the classroom. Students who participate in clubs are more likely to persist to graduation, are more career-ready upon graduation, and experience better connections with industry.

Your generosity will allow student clubs and organizations to travel to conferences, compete, host networking events, propel their projects, and enrich NAU's campus community. Here are some of the SCE student clubs that can benefit from your support:

Society of Women Engineers 

Energy Club 

Society of Automotive Engineers 

NAU Rocket Club

American Society of Mechanical Engineers 

Melvin K Neville ACM Fund

Women Who Compute 

Society for Hispanic Professional Engineers

American Indian Science and Engineering Society

Construction Management Organization
