Helping Lumberjacks Pursue Their Purpose
Every student arrives at NAU with a dream—but turning that dream into a meaningful career takes guidance, resources, and opportunity. Your gift helps students connect their academic passions to real-world purpose through internships, mentorship, and hands-on learning. With your support, Lumberjacks don’t just earn degrees—they launch lives of impact.
Our Giving Day Priorities
Make an impact that extends beyond the classroom with a gift to:
Lumberjacks Thrive provides connections between students and alumni through an externship program which supports career exploration and discovery. Community-building grants bring student organizations and alumni together to celebrate their NAU ties through student-led projects and events. Students participating in a year-long study abroad can receive support through the International Discovery Award. Collaborative and career-focused student/alumni career mixers take place throughout the year.
A gift to Career Development helps us maintain career-related programing for all NAU students. Career Development hosts events, provides free career advising, helps students connect with job shadowing and internship opportunities, and more. Together, we can ensure students have the tools needed to thrive both in their time at NAU and after graduation.
