Student tributes

We remember and honor NAU students who have passed, celebrating their lives, their impact on our community, and the memories they leave behind.

This space is to honor students who have passed away and recognize their contributions to the NAU community. The page will be updated each spring, and the students will also be recognized in a ceremony at commencement. 

With their families’ permission, we will share students’ names, photos, and degree programs. We extend our sincere condolences to family, friends, and all those grieving the loss of these students.
