This is what it means to lead

Businessman and entrepreneur Bill Franke chose NAU’s college of business for his transformative $25 million gift because he recognized one of our key values: opportunity is for everyone.

We have diverse, close-knit classes made up of students from all kinds of different backgrounds—first-generation, veteran, out of state, urban and rural. The support and business education they receive here directly impacts the well-being of NAU and all of Arizona.

By being a guest speaker, joining an advisory panel, or participating in our executive shadow or internship programs, you will be helping to shape the next generation of business and community leaders; to allow our students see beyond the textbooks and lectures into the applications of the business curriculum on which they will soon be immersed.

We look forward to working with you.
