At Northern Arizona University, students are given numerous opportunities to shape their experience and contribute to Lumberjack life through student clubs and organizations. Each group provides students an engagement opportunity to shape their own Lumberjack experience where they can sharpen their leadership skills, make lasting connections, have fun, and build a lasting impact on their communities.
A gift today supports the student experiences affiliated with the Office of Inclusion. Below are a few of the groups looking for your support:
NAU Filipino American Student Association
NAU FASA wants to bring awareness of the Filipino Culture to Northern Arizona for both Filipino and Non-Filipino students and will provide opportunities for community members and students alike to experience the Filipino culture through various activities including folk dance, culinary exploration, and customs. We want to unite students by immersing them in a “kapamilya” (family) atmosphere at NAU.
Abaya Yala
Abaya Yala (Mayan for Indigenous Peoples of the World) is a student organization at Northern Arizona University that brings together people who are interested in Indigenous issues within the university and the Flagstaff community. We create a "Home Away From Home" for our members by providing social and cultural support. Donating to our student organization will provide our students with more opportunities to build connections through events and academic support through events such as the Indigenous Knowledge Bowl, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Awareness Walk, and the Abaya Yala Powwow.
Korean Language and Culture Club
This NAU student organization brings together people who are interested in the different aspects of Korean Culture, language, entertainment, holidays, food, and current events. We create a welcoming space for our exchange students who wish to share their culture and experiences. And educate those who are interested by providing information sessions and different hands-on activities throughout the semester through our different subunits: dance, language, and dramarama, and our general meetings. With your donation, KLCC will be able to prepare more exciting events for future members to take part in that will strengthen our bond as a group and support the international students’ transition into NAU. Some of which include Field Day and Cup Sleeve events. Thank you!
PRISM NAU
PRISM Strives to empower, advocate, and support individuals who identify with lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning, intersex, asexual, and queer identities. (Hereafter respectfully referred to as non-conforming, intersecting identities; "queer.") PRISM accomplishes this by creating a safe space for cultivating alliances, leadership, and educational opportunities. We are Northern Arizona University’s largest student led LGBTQIA+ organization. We support LGBTQIA+ students to help form a sense of community and friendship. Our meeting topics range from queer history/herstory, current events, STI prevention to Bob Ross painting night. We put on a drag show every semester featuring students from Northern Arizona University and Coconino Community College. This year we are planning to support queer NAU students by hosting fun, inclusive, informational events that empower and uplift. We need your help to fund the PRISM Drag Show, PRISM Gala, and activities at weekly club meetings that offer a fun, inclusive, informational space for queer students at NAU.
NAU Black Student Union
The Black Student Union at Northern Arizona University is open to all students to better connect with and understand the Black community at NAU. BSU meetings allow NAU students to share in meaningful discussions, attend fun game nights, and participate in other events that cultivate the celebration of Black culture. BSU asks you to consider supporting our outreach efforts to organize, educate, and engage NAU students, staff, and faculty with these events and activities. Your gift today supports student engagement, not just this month, but all donations will continue to fund future events, activities, and discussions aimed at building cultural awareness and community at NAU
