The Ethnic Studies Program is the only university-recognized Ethnic Studies degree program in the state of Arizona. The Program celebrates its 18th anniversary this September, preceded by a reception, class visits, and question and answer sessions with the panelists.

The event will inform, educate and mobilize students, faculty, staff and the community about the past, present and future of Ethnic Studies, as the program prepares to restore its BA degree and secure faculty positions to replace departed faculty such as Dr. Frederick Gooding and others who have had a significant impact on NAU and the community over the past 18 years.
