Humboldt State University 2013 Overview At Humboldt State University, students enjoy an extraordinary college experience. They are part of a tight-knit community where learning takes place in an environment in which professors actively support their students. Students live in a beautiful area known for its redwood forests and expansive beaches.

HSU prides itself on its commitment to environmental responsibility and social justice. In 1987 students created the Graduation Pledge to inspire graduates to consider the social and environmental impact of their careers. This, along with programs like Youth Educational Services (a student-run volunteer coordination program) and the Campus Center for Appropriate Technology (student-run ecodemonstration house), contribute to Princeton Review consistently calling HSU a “College with a Conscience.”

Located in Arcata, 280 miles north of San Francisco and 95 miles south of the Oregon border, on 144 acres of land, HSU is nestled in a spectacular setting of redwood forests, rushing rivers, ocean beaches and mountain ranges. California’s North Coast is an outdoor adventurer’s paradise, and, for Humboldt State students, it’s also a laboratory for learning. Students picnic at the same beaches where they study marine life, and they learn from the world’s foremost expert on redwood canopies. They do film shoots, wildlife studies and archaeological digs. They carry out projects on the Coral Sea, the only research vessel in America dedicated to undergraduate research. They work with leading experts in sustainable energy at the Schatz Energy Research Center and they study the stars at the campus observatory.

Humboldt State’s hometown of Arcata is a vibrant and welcoming community filled with music, art and festivals. It has been called one of the top college towns by Outside magazine and a “next great adventure town” by National Geographic Adventure magazine.

On campus, there are more than 160 active student clubs and 6 intramural sports including basketball, volleyball, and indoor softball. Center Arts brings in nationally recognized performers and speakers.

There is state-of-the-art recreation center and physical education facility featuring two workout facilities, two rock walls, three basketball gymnasiums, and an indoor swimming pool. Twelve intercollegiate athletic teams (5 men, 7 women) compete in the Division II level, including a nationally ranked women’s rowing team.

HSU’s most popular disciplines include Art, Biology, Business Administration, Elementary Education, English, Kinesiology, Psychology and Wildlife. In all, HSU offers 44 undergraduate majors, 73 undergraduate minor degrees, 72 options/concentrations, 12 graduate programs, 13 credential programs and 12 certificates of study. (www.humboldt.edu/humboldt/programs).

Humboldt State University fosters an environment that encourages students to volunteer. 2012 marked the Eighth year that HSU has been ranked in the Peace Corps top 25 volunteer-producing schools, tying for 21st place with 24 volunteers.

HSU has been named a “Best-in-the-West” school by the Princeton Review since 2006-2007. “Best” ratings are based on school visits, institutional data, information from college counselors and advisors and Princeton Review staff recommendations.

Humboldt State University: A Brief History Source: http://humboldt.edu/centennial/history

The first classes at Humboldt State Normal School began on April 6, 1914, with 62 students in a small building near the rural bottoms of Arcata. By May of 1915, the school would celebrate its first graduating class of 15 women. The school was established to meet the demand for qualified teachers, which were needed following a state-wide education statute.

Accordingly, the school offered four teacher-preparation programs all based on the student’s own experience levels.

In the run-up to those first classes, three Humboldt County towns, Arcata, Eureka, and Fortuna, vied to become the school’s location. A donation of 55-acres of land by Arcata’s William Preston and the Union Water Company ensured Arcata would be the school’s home. Within a decade, the school built Founders Hall, now the campus’s oldest and best-known building.

In the 1920s, the school changed its name to Humboldt State Teachers College and Junior College and the curriculum included foreign languages, physical education, natural sciences, mathematics, philosophy, English and the social sciences. Not long after, the school would be known as Humboldt State College and the curriculum would further expand to include a bachelor’s of science degree in education and liberal arts degrees in economics and business.

In 1924, the school came into its own, establishing Associated Students and the alumni organization. The year also included the first homecoming celebration and saw the first edition of the school newspaper, the Foghorn. World War II had a major impact on campus and, by 1945, enrollment had dropped to 159.

With the end of the war came a revitalization as enrollment boomed and the campus began offering programs in forestry and agriculture. Expansion continued in the 1950’s. New dormitories and academic buildings popped up across campus and in 1959 Lucky Logger was adopted as the school’s mascot.

In 1974 the school got its final name change to Humboldt State University. By the mid-1980s, HSU’s enrollment hit 6,200 and Business was the most popular major on campus. In the 1990s, the campus organized into three constituent colleges: The College of Natural Resources, the College of Professional Studies and the College of Arts, Humanities & Social Sciences. Toward the end of the decade, HSU would expand the campus to Eureka, with the establishment of the First Street Gallery in Old Town. The campus also garnered national media attention in 1998, when the Schatz Energy Research Center debuted the country’s first hydrogen powered person vehicle, dubbed the Neighborhood Electric Vehicle.

In 2013, overall enrollment reached a record 8,293. Recent campus additions include the state-of-theart Kinesiology and Athletics building, the College Creek housing complex and the Behavioral and Social Sciences building, which is the one of the most environmentally sustainable buildings in the 23-campus California State University system.

In 2012, HSU won a CSU Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Best Practices Award for the implementation of the organic waste diversion program that aims to have entire campus involved in organic waste diversion by 2013.

More about waste reduction programs: --------------------------------------------------------------------

Recycling Humboldt State has gone single stream. All plastics numbered 1 through 7, metals, glass, as well as paper, magazines, and cardboard can be thrown together into any mixed recycling container on campus. There are still paper only recycling containers in some computer labs and office spaces.

Electronic Waste (E-waste), Batteries, Discs, Printer Cartridges and CFLs Collection E-waste is the name given to electronic products nearing the end of their "useful life." Computers, televisions, VCRs, stereos, copiers, cell phones, mp3 players and fax machines are common electronic products.

Recycle your e-waste, along with batteries, discs, printer cartridges, and CFL light bulbs at the following locations: •

In the E-Cycler (pictured below) on the 2nd floor of the Jolly Giant Commons

•

In the E-Cycler in the hall outside the College Creek mail room

•

In a blue E-Waste bin located:

•

Outside the main entrance to the library

•

Outside the Native American Forum

•

Outside the main entrance to Science B

•

Outside east entrance to Siemens Hall

•

Inside entrance hall to Founders Hall

Composting and Food Waste Collection With your help, HSU is keeping over 150 tons of food waste out of the landfill each year! There are now even more food waste collection containers conveniently located on campus: •

At the entrance to the Depot and inside the Depot

•

On the University Center Quad

•

Main entrance to the library

•

Main entrance to South Campus Marketplace

•

At the main entrance to BSS

•

In the red barrels for all apartments and residence halls except Redwood, Sunset, and the Canyon Complex (see picture below) All these containers accept biodegradable materials appropriate for cold composting. Please no dairy or meat in these containers but they do accept coffee grounds, soiled paper products, eggshells, fruits, vegetables, legumes, and grains.

Of this organic waste 8,000 pounds stays on campus and is composted by WRRAP to produce soil amendment for the campus grounds and CCAT. Due to the limited capacity of the campus composting site the rest of this biogenic waste is accepted by the Humboldt Waste Management Authority and goes to a commercial composting facility.

Other Recycling Contact Morgan King at Morgan.King@humboldt.edu to have the following campus-generated items picked up for recycling: •

Hard-bound books

•

Scrap metal and wire

•

Carpeting

•

Mixed rigid plastics

•

Appliances

•

Laboratory and field equipment

•

Brick, porcelain, concrete, broken glass

Reuse Opportunities The EPA recognizes reuse to have a lower environmental impact than recycling. These are just some of the reuse opportunities on campus: School and office supplies: Reusable Office Supply Exchange (R.O.S.E.) located at the Warren house 53 south of the library accepts surplus and used school and office supplies. Managed through WRRAP, these supplies are made available for free to the campus. R.O.S.E is open 8-5pm, Monday through Friday.

Re-usable office equipment and furniture: Contact Plant Operations to request a pick-up.

Packaging peanuts and pillows: These are accepted by Shipping and Receiving beside Plant Operations.

Graduation gown and caps: CCAT hosts a graduation gown rental and collection each year.

Dishes: For your next campus event or gathering rent dishes from Dining Catering Services for less than the cost of disposable tableware. And YES, dining washes the dishes. Contact Violet at Violet.McCrigler@humboldt.edu or (707) 826-5311 for more details.

Dorm Stuff: During move-out at the end of each semester Housing & Dining, WRRAP, and Plant Operations host a collection for reusable items; that are donated to local charities and thrift stores.

Miscellaneous: The campus holds frequent public auctions of surplus property. These will include fun items such as vehicles, furniture, electronics and construction supplies. Auctions are made public through the university announcements and local newspapers.

Stormwater Information IF YOU SEE SOMETHING OTHER THAN RAIN GOING DOWN THE STORM DRAIN, CALL

HUMBOLDT COUNTY’S STORMWATER HOTLINE

1-877-NCSC-001

www.HumboldtStormwater.org When your car is leaking oil on the street, remember, it’s not JUST leaking oil on the street.

Rain washes oil into storm drains, which lead straight into our streams, Humboldt Bay, and the ocean.

What you can do: 1. Stop drips. Check for oil leaks on your car, truck, or boat regularly and fix them promptly.

www.hwma.net

2. Use ground cloths or drip pans beneath your vehicle if you have leaks or are doing engine work.

Clean up spills immediately.

707-268-8680

3. Never dispose of oil or other engine fluids down the storm drain, on the ground or into a ditch.

4. Don’t leave oil stains on asphalt or concrete where rain carries residues away.

5. Recycle used motor oil.

PREVENTING CLOGS SAVES MONEY AND THE ENVIRONMENT. Grease will clog your sewer pipes and the pipes of the public sewer system. When a sewer pipe is clogged raw sewage can back up into homes, or overflow into the street.

A sewage back-up in your home can damage your property, and create a health hazard for you and your family.

When a sewer overflow occurs in the street, the sewage enters storm drains and flows into waterways. When sewage enters a waterway it affects the environment, swimmers, kayakers, fisherman, and the oyster beds of Humboldt Bay. And, of course, raw sewage on the streets is a health hazard for all of us.

What can cause a clog?

Most Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) are a byproduct of cooking that is commonly found in:

Never pour

- food scraps and meat juices

grease

- dairy products and sandwich spreads - sauces and marinades

down the drain.

- lard and cooking oils

Even with soap and hot water, the grease will stick to your pipes and can cause clogs.

How can a clog be prevented?

Compost your food scraps, and scrape your plates in the trash before washing them.

Keep a coffee can or similar sealed container in your kitchen to collect your FOG and put in a garbage can.

Waste cooking oil is accepted at the Arcata Community Recycling Center and Eureka Recycling Center. The collected waste oil is recycled into Biodiesel.
