Transfer Jacks Accordion Closed
- Serving new transfer students at NAU.
Our vision is to create a culture where transfer students are valued and thrive, cultivating a robust community for transfer students at NAU. We provide resources, programming, and a dedicated lounge space to empower students to achieve their goals during their transition to NAU and throughout their educational journey.
Every day we seek to provide a valuable peer mentoring experience, advocate for our students, and create a sense of community through our interactions, events, and spaces. We host weekly events in our lounge where transfer students can meet folks who share their experiences and develop profound and lasting connections at NAU.
Jacks State Accordion Closed
- Serving Statewide and UNAD students.
Jacks State Peer Mentoring supports new NAU students who enroll in degree-seeking programs at NAU statewide locations and students who choose to participate in the NAU universal admissions program at select community college partnership locations. Our team of peer mentors will provide regular 1-1 touchpoints with their assigned mentees, each of whom will always know that they have the entire NAU team to support them. These monthly peer-to-peer meetings encompass topics that will help students develop a sense of belonging and community, identify resources, develop personal and academic goal setting, and navigate their unique paths towards academic and career readiness.
- Mentoring Support: Peer-to-peer meetings and follow-up prompted by a strategic plan of action aligned with the student lifecycle.
- Wrap-Around Care: Virtual Meetings/Workshops will be scheduled to support student readiness and connectedness with the NAU community.
Mountain Jacks Accordion Closed
- Serving first-year freshmen students.
Since 2010, the Peer Jacks Mentoring Program has supported first-year students through their transition into NAU. Peer Jacks is using a new program name: Mountain Jacks Peer Mentoring. This new change shows our dedication to supporting first-year students at our Flagstaff Mountain campus. Our team of 50+ mentors and staff work closely with our students to meet them where they are at and get them connected with what they value most.
Students accomplish this through developing:
- Knowledge & awareness of campus resources & processes
- Personal value/goal identification in alignment with community integration
- Engagement in purposeful academic support and educational activities
Every semester Peer Jacks mentors host events and trips such as a Spooky Seasonings dinner in partnership with the School of Hotel and Restaurant Management, trips to go kayaking with Outdoor Adventures, and a fieldtrip to Bearizona.
