NAU Calendar of Events

Student Art Exhibit:
‘This Could Be HUGE’

NAU's Beasley Gallery; Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, from 3–9 p.m. through June 10.
Based on pop artist Jim Dine’s show, "A Self Portrait on Walls," where Dine drew a self portrait directly on the wall of a gallery, left it for viewing for a few weeks and then covered it up with paint. Twenty-three larger-than-life student portraits are on display now.


NAU will be closed May 30 in honor of those who gave their lives in service to our country.

  • Yuma colleges' commencement is a thrill for all
    As the week of commencement and celebrations of learning came to a close this year, it is important to reflect on the resource and treasure Arizona Western College and its partnership with Northern Arizona University is to Yuma and La Paz counties. Indeed AWC and NAU-Yuma make a huge difference in the lives of individuals and families.
