A Letter from the Havasu Foundation President

Thank you for your interest in our new university project for Lake Havasu City.

Our Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3), public service corporation with nearly 1,900 members.

Our mission is to develop a comprehensive residential university in Lake Havasu City. Our partners include our city government and Northern Arizona University.

The Character of Affairs of our Foundation is to acquire land, raise funds, develop and provide information to the public, all in order to facilitate the promotion of higher education in Lake Havasu City.

Moreover, we intend to develop a culture of philanthropy to meet the needs of a new campus of NAU in our town, in its pursuit of access and excellence in education, research and outreach.

As you may know, Northern Arizona University is recognized as one of the premier public universities. The Washington Monthly now ranks NAU among the top 100 colleges and universities in the United States for the things that really matter: helping our students achieve upward mobility, fostering scientific and humanistic research, and promoting an ethic of service to country and community. NAU is a good investment of students' time, taxpayers' money, and your charitable contributions. Moreover, Northern Arizona University is a good partner for our city.

Inspired by strategic priorities, NAU has worked to create student-centered learning environments, attract and retain top faculty, conduct meaningful research, and give deserving students financial assistance. We fully embrace these priorities for our new campus.

HFHE is working to expand volunteer involvement and private contributions to ensure that we are able to capitalize on NAU's momentum and standing as a premier public university as we establish a campus of Northern Arizona University in Lake Havasu City.

We invite you to explore the many ways you may be involved in this project. In order to serve your interest and progress in the HFHE mission, we encourage your questions and feedback.

Respectfully,

Ralph Tapscott
