Almost 46% of NAU students on the Flagstaff campus identify as first-generation, meaning neither of their parents earned a bachelor’s degree. At NAU, we know our first‐generation students are trailblazers, forging new paths for themselves and their families. To help support you on this new path, we offer a variety of programs, services, events, and activities to connect you to other students and the larger campus community. This year, we are excited to share more about our First-Gen social events, First-Gen Pathway, and fall workshop series. Mark your calendars for our kick-off events below and be sure to check our website at nau.edu/first-gen to see our event calendar or follow us on social media at NAU1stGen.
