FEATURED
A Crescendo
of Philanthropy
Ed Kurtz, PhD, a former Arizona
plant physiologist, chose to retire
in Flagstaff, as many do, because
of the beautiful location and active
lifestyle. But there's another reason
Dr. Kurtz admires the university town.
"Northern Arizona University prioritizes the development of strong relationships between faculty and staff,
and this is very important to me."
An orchestra and opera aficionado,
Dr. Kurtz's current giving evolved
into a planned gift, and he became
a Heritage Society Member in recognition of his future support.
"His gift is easily compared to the
notion of crescendo," says Todd
Sullivan, director of the NAU School
of Music. "First, he believed in the
School of Music's programs and
students; those beliefs led to many
years of consistent support; and ultimately, his loyalty led to a planned
gift which will benefit musicians forever." Visionary donors like Dr. Kurtz
transform the atmosphere of the university, enabling their gifts to benefit
future generations.
The following gifts grant membership into the Heritage Society: those
made through a will or living trust,
beneficiary designations, charitable
trusts or gift annuities, life estate
agreements or gifts of life insurance.

An Inside Look at NAU
with LinkedIn
Know someone who is considering attending NAU? Point them toward
the NAU LinkedIn University page. Similar to a Facebook page, it allows
you to learn about community happenings, as well as network with fellow
Lumberjacks. With the Explore Careers feature, users can target the profiles
of more than 47,000 NAU graduates, fine-tuning networking searches with
geography-, industry- and even company-specific parameters. Students
can find useful guidance in identifying the career paths of those who have
attended NAU, and alumni can search for former classmates and friends.
As an estimated 30 million LinkedIn accounts (or 13 percent of the total
network) are held by college students or recent graduates, it's no surprise
that the social platform has developed university pages to help connect a
new generation of career professionals.
