Making college a good value. That's what drives José Luis Cruz Rivera as he wraps his second academic year as Northern Arizona University President. Cruz Rivera believes a college degree should be accessible, affordable, and provide economic mobility to the recipient. The NAU president also says a college is responsible to the communities they serve and that means being present, engaging in dialogue, and focusing on local needs. Cruz Rivera says that is why you may have seen NAU researchers, students, and volunteers in recent years engaging in work and community projects far from the main college campus in Flagstaff.
