Mission-focused faculty and staff

Cultivating excellence together

NAU will implement employment practices to support the recruitment, retention, development, and promotion of a highly qualified, mission-driven, diverse workforce that will underpin all we do.

Fostering growth that serves students

Through enhanced recruitment, retention, professional development, and evaluation of highly qualified, NAU will support mission-driven faculty and staff with diverse academic pursuits, experiences, and talents will support, to enhance, and connect with the diversity of our student community.  Additionally, we will support faculty and staff economic, physical, and mental well-being to foster a healthy and fulfilled workforce and a mission-driven workplace. Finally, NAU will foster a culture of shared responsibility for diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice-centered institutional practices to support our community in pursuit of excellence.

The result will be student success where mission-driven faculty and staff collectively support the needs of all students through meaningful relationships and experiences, tailored support, accessible environments, and pedagogical excellence.
