ELEVATE NAU student engagement with a gift to a student-led club or organization!

Support student clubs and organizations at NAU

On NAU Giving Day, student clubs and organizations are bringing awareness to issues and raising money for groups and projects as varied and unique as the Lumberjack family!  Search for a student group department below to make a gift to their project.   

Bucket Hats, Cookies, and more!  Join students at the Lumberjack Lounge on 3.29.23 from 10 am - 2 pm in the Union to learn more about how your gift elevates the Lumberjack experience and enhances student engagement by making student club-sponsored activities more equitable for all Jacks.  Student club leaders will be at the Lumberjack Lounge to hand out goodies and share upcoming events.  

Student Organization Service Day

Students are invited to participate in the 3rd Student Organization Service Day.  Not a member or a student club or organization, but still want to give back?  Not a problem!  All NAU students are encouraged to register and participate in this fun activity.  You'll have a chance to give back and meet fellow Jacks. 

Check-in begins at 2:30pm and we will walk to our clean up areas at 3:00pm.  After the clean up we will celebrate your gift of service and NAU Giving Day!

NAU Honors Distinguished Speaker Series - Frances Haugen
Advocating Accountability and Ethics for Big Tech: An Evening with Facebook Whistleblower Frances Haugen The NAU Honors Distinguished Speaker Series showcases inspired thinkers from all disciplines addressing issues of vital community interest. The presentations will engage and enlighten students and community members about critical issues facing the region, the nation, and the world. During her time at Facebook as the lead Product Manager on the Civic Misinformation team, Frances became increasingly alarmed by the choices the company makes prioritizing their own profits over public safety and putting people's lives at risk. As a last resort and at great personal risk, Frances made the courageous decision to blow the whistle on Facebook. Reserve tickets - https://nautickets.universitytickets.com/w/event.aspx?id=1739
