While NAU does not host one all-encompassing community engagement body required by the credit language, we would like to highlight our public Sustainability-focused forum. The Sustainability Forum is representative of the Office of Sustainability and is the primary avenue for public input and engagement around campus sustainability initiatives. The forum is committed to connecting the NAU and Flagstaff communities through sharing information between NAU and the Flagstaff community to discuss sustainability strategies. The forum is open to the community and meets monthly from 12:00 p.m. to 1:15 p.m.
