This Friday, I walked onto the north quad to more than 100 students ready to serve their community. I really did not know how many people would come but was ecstatic to see that students were willing to give up their Friday afternoon for a great cause. I am proud that NAU\u2019s value of service has remained strong through the uncertainties of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

As someone who has been involved with student organizations my entire time at NAU, creating a positive college experience for everyone is incredibly important to me. Admittedly, our focuses usually do not go further than the students. That is why I was so excited for the opportunity to serve our greater community.<\/p>\n

As I have spent more time in Flagstaff, my feeling of belonging has spread beyond the boundaries of campus and into the community at large. With this greater belonging came a feeling of responsibility. Our university has been a part of most of Flagstaff\u2019s history, and while there are ups and downs, the need for shared stewardship has remained the same.<\/p>\n

This Service Day is a necessary first step in building new bridges, and I am ecstatic that over 100 students took time out of their Friday to serve. I look forward to next year, and am ecstatic to see what new partnerships students, staff, and faculty build with the community!<\/p>\n
