The NAU Review — Announcing the Steve Sanghi College of Engineering! Plus, relive highlights from Homecoming and check out a democracy-themed exhibition at Cline Library

Oct. 22, 2024

NAU is renaming the College of Engineering, Informatics, and Applied Sciences the Steve Sanghi College of Engineering, thanks to a generous $10 million cash gift—the largest of its kind in university history—from Maria and Steve Sanghi. The gift comes at a pivotal time: Arizona has made a major commitment to growth in the semiconductor industry, and NAU is uniquely positioned to contribute, with more than 70% of grads staying in Arizona for work. Sanghi said the gift “will help ensure engineering students can participate in the workforce of the future and ultimately strengthen Arizona’s economy and communities.”

Friends, football, festivities and the first snow of the season—NAU’s landmark 100th Homecoming sure was memorable! Flip through these photos and relive the whole weekend, from the Thursday night bonfire and pep rally to the Friday ASNAU Carnival to Saturday’s fun-filled Homecoming parade and nail-biting game against Idaho State.
