*NEW* this year – virtual float parade
Since you can’t go to the parade, we’re bringing the parade to you. The Blue Key Honor Society invites everyone to attend and/or participate in NAU’s Homecoming parade featuring a video parade of floats designed and built by NAU students, alumni, and the Flagstaff community. Participants can build a float using a physical shoebox, the same as would be done for a float in the live parade, and/or can send in pictures/video as their entry, with an accompanying audio clip. During the audio, please include what NAU has meant to you in the present and in the past, what you enjoyed about your time here at NAU, and times of merit or reflections on past parades.
How to participate:
Celebrating Lumberjack spirit
Homecoming connects NAU to the community as we welcome returning alumni to enjoy a week of campus events and activities. While Homecoming 2020 will be virtual this year, we invite you to enjoy memories of prior years’ festivities, and look forward to when we can celebrate together again.
