NAU Asia email list
The NAU Asian Studies Program Committee has created the NAUASIA electronic mailing list (listserv). This email list is for NAU community members who are interested in expanding Asia as an area of interest and knowledge for both students and faculty on the NAU campus. It is used for sharing news of faculty and student research and teaching in Asia, Asia-related events on the NAU campus, and Asia-related teaching and research opportunities for faculty and students. For the purposes of NAUASIA, we define "Asia" in its broadest terms, including both the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and the broader Asia-Pacific realm. We invite all faculty, staff, students and community members who are interested in being informed or getting involved in Asia-related topics on the NAU campus to be a part of the NAUASIA email list.How to subscribe to the list Accordion Closed
