Over the next three years, the campaign will raise funds to support student scholarships, faculty development, teaching and research.<\/p>\n<p>A &#8220;quiet phase&#8221; of fundraising that began in 2009 already has secured\u00a0about $54 million in gifts and pledges toward the overall campaign goal. Meeting the $100 million goal will require support from donors dedicated to NAU\u2019s mission and to preserving the NAU experience for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNAU is going to raise $100 million partly because of its demonstrated success, and partly because of the promise of so much more,\u201d said <b>Mason Gerety<\/b>, vice president for University Advancement.<\/p>\n<p>The Only at NAU campaign has identified priorities that build upon its strengths as a student-centered educational institution. These priorities include growing scholarships and programs that promote student success, investing in and supporting faculty excellence, strengthening research opportunities for both students and faculty, and enhancing the athletics program and supporting student-athletes.<\/p>\n<p>Specifically, the overall objective for the campaign is to allocate $60 million for student success initiatives; $20 million for research excellence; $10 million for program support; and $10 million for athletics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNAU is committed to an environment of living and learning that simply cannot be found elsewhere,\u201d said NAU President <b>John Haeger<\/b>. \u201cPreserving that environment will require tremendous resources, which means that the success of this comprehensive fundraising campaign is critical to our future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #61003d;\"><b>Campaign for NAU leadership<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"5\" cellpadding=\"5\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"10%\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-8700\" alt=\"John Haeger\" src=\"http:\/\/stage.headlessnauedu-b6hgdzckfdgxgzhe.westus-01.azurewebsites.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/haeger-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/td>\n<td width=\"90%\"><strong>John Haeger<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>President, Northern Arizona University<br \/>\n<\/strong>The Campaign for NAU creates an unprecedented opportunity for us to fulfill our 114-year commitment to student success.
