As part of NAU's spring 2012 commencement ceremony on May 12, NAU President Dr. John Haeger will present Coconino Community College President Dr. Leah L. Bornstein with and honorary degree. The degree recognizes Bornstein for her dedication to enhancing the quality of local higher education and for her many collaborations with NAU.  

Dr. Bornstein and Dr. Haeger have spent four years building a multifaceted partnership between CCC and NAU to help steer student success and ensure that CCC students are completing their bachelor's degrees at NAU. It began with the CCC2NAU, but has evolved into several other initiatives that combine student services, conserve resources and enhance the education experience.
