The 10 most read stories of Fall 2021

The Fall 2021 semester was a big one for NAU—it was the first semester with President José Luis Cruz Rivera at the head, the first one fully back in person in two years (including the first in-person commencement in two years), a fifth cross country national championship and dozens of opportunities for Lumberjacks to make a difference in their industries and communities, both here in Flagstaff and beyond. It was also the introduction of The NAU Review, a revamped newsletter to better enlighten and inform the NAU community, wherever you may be.

As the year ends, here’s a list of our 10 most read stories this semester.
