“The sense of community has been overwhelming. It's very inclusive. Also, it doesn't matter how busy anyone’s schedule is, they always make time for you. And they're always happy to have discussions, it doesn't have to be discussing a problem, maybe you're just problem-solving or brainstorming ideas.”
- Ana Morgan, pursuing a PhD in Astronomy and Planetary Science

“When I came here, I thought I would probably get my master’s degree, go back home, and find a job. I never thought that I’d want to stay here. But all the support that I received from NAU has been mind-blowing, whether it’s been towards my personal development, career development, or even funding, I’ve been really happy and satisfied. That’s why I didn’t even have to think twice that I wanted to stay here for my PhD.”
