Create Your Community

As a university student, one of the greatest opportunities is extending your networks and your circle of friends. The NACC hosts a variety of events, programs, and student organizations on a daily and weekly basis. The NACC has numerous places where you can chat with other students, study, or even visit the Story Room, the NACCs “Smudging” and/or meditation room. The NACC Indige-Jacks and the OISS Peer Mentors are students workers and can provide you with additional information about programs, events, and other support services.

If you are looking for ways to connect with the wider Northern Arizona University community, there is a diverse range of Student Organizations that will help you extend your circle of friends and help you Create Your Community.
