I love fall! When Homecoming arrives, it brings in the changing of the seasons.<\/p>\n<p>There is so much to do this week! One of my favorite events is the Homecoming parade. I particularly like to see how Flagstaff and NAU come together as a community and create such a huge celebration. Oh, and guess what? It will be held on campus this year. This should be exciting and very special, and I hope to see many of my fellow students along the parade route.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being a full-time student majoring in visual communication with an emphasis in graphic design and a minor in cinema studies, I also am an NAU employee. My position as an administrative assistant has given me insights to the inner workings of the university and I realize how many different people work extremely hard to support my experience as a student. Many faculty and staff\u00a0were actually once in our shoes.\u00a0Several NAU alumni chose to pursue careers on campus after graduation and now they support all of us.<\/p>\n<p>As a current student, Homecoming means a time for celebration and to make lasting memories. I believe this great week is a welcome relief after our midterms and an excuse to feel a little stress-free. As a future graduate, I think Homecoming will have a different meaning as I look back and remember my time at NAU, the friendships I made and the\u00a0degree\u00a0I earned. I am thankful for this opportunity. Now go out there, have fun and go Lumberjacks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a class=\"search-results-excerpt-link\" href=\"https:\/\/in.nau.edu\/news\/happy-homecoming\/\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0By Charlese Bedford, NAU visual communications, \u00a0junior\u00a0 It\u2019s Homecoming Week at NAU, a time I truly look forward to on campus.
