President John Haeger will jump-start the fall semester with a public forum to discuss a variety of issues and answer questions from staff and the public.

Haeger will discuss funding priorities, the university's strategic plan, FY09 budget priorities and his vision of NAU in 2020. A question-and-answer session will follow.

The forum begins at 3:30 p.m. Aug. 29 in Ashurst Auditorium and will be webcast. Web participants may e-mail their questions to Inside@nau.edu.

Following the forum at 4:30 p.m. will be a reception where guests can network with administrators, colleagues and community members.

The president's forum is part of Celebrate NAU Day festivities, marking NAU's mission and achievements.

The celebration also marks the university's reaccreditation and the upcoming October visit by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association. Accreditation occurs every 10 years as a way of ensuring that the university is meeting the accrediting body's expectations
