We are Student Affairs

At NAU Student Affairs, we are here for you! Our mission is to support all students in building community, optimizing wellness, and pursuing their academic/career purpose through inclusive environments, programs, and services created by dedicated and skilled educators.

Our three goals

The Student Affairs framework for student learning and development identifies desired outcomes of our work with students and helps our team members develop program objectives, uniting theory with practice. Each of the primary domains in this framework is outlined briefly below. With these learning and development outcomes in mind, our Student Affairs team members are ready to support students on their journey through college, from day one to graduation!
