🗣️ I am thrilled to welcome Regent Jimmy McCain to the Arizona Board of Regents, and I commend Governor Katie Hobbs for her thoughtful appointment of a leader whose deep Arizona roots and commitment to public service will serve Northern Arizona exceptionally well.⁠
⁠
📌 I have had the privilege of getting to know Regent McCain and can attest to his genuine advocacy for the people of our state. He recognizes that public higher education is indispensable to building a vibrant and prosperous Arizona, and his priorities align closely with NAU’s role as the state’s access-focused university.⁠
⁠
📚 We proudly educate a student body that is 75 percent Arizona residents—students who come from all backgrounds ranging from rural and tribal communities, first-generation college students, and many who have served our nation as veterans. Through this work, NAU is preparing the next generation of professionals who will sustain the health, vitality, and competitiveness of Arizona for decades to come.⁠
⁠
🙌 Regent McCain’s insights and perspective will further strengthen the Board’s work to expand opportunity and prosperity statewide, and I look forward to collaborating with him and my ABOR colleagues to secure a bright future for Arizona. - José Luis Cruz Rivera, President, Northern Arizona University (NAUPresident)⁠
