A Celebration of Naomi Jackson

For 30 years, Professor Naomi Jackson taught in Arizona State University's dance program, touching the lives of countless students. Jackson died June 19 after a two-and-a-half-year fight with cancer, leaving a lasting impact on her family, friends, students, colleagues and the dance community.

Please join us to celebrate her life and work. We invite you to share a personal memory of Jackson prior to the event. We hope you are able to gather together with us to honor her remarkable life. There is a zoom option available. Please use the link on this page and password: 050728.

In honor and memory of Naomi Jackson’s distinguished career at ASU and her lasting impact on students and colleagues, a memorial fund has been established in her name to empower future generations of dance professionals to carry on her legacy.
