To ensure students continue receiving the highest-quality education possible, we recommend three key areas where donors can make the greatest impact:

• Field-based learning, which is critical in preparing students for their careers by taking education beyond the classroom where they can apply their learning in a real-world setting. Examples of field-based learning include Geology Field Camp and excursions on Humboldt’s research vessel, the Coral Sea.
• Student & Faculty Research, which is a valuable experience for students pursuing competitive jobs and post-graduate programs in the sciences. There are several ways, such as covering travel and equipment expenses, in which donors can help.
• Conferences & Professional Meetings, these are often the site for networking, competitions, presenting research, and more. These events often offer on-the-spot hiring for students, and help students experience a diversity of ecosystems and perspectives.
• Scholarships, which, based on need or a combination of other criteria, support students with financial resources to pursue their dreams.

With your support in these key areas, our students will have the experiences they need to learn, grow, and help create a more sustainable future for our planet.

Whether it is special learning opportunities like field trips or community service, access to new technologies, labs, or improved facilities, donors like you have the power to enrich the student experience at Cal Poly Humboldt.
