Mark your calendar

Date: August 20, 2012    

One year to go! In August 2013, the start of the school year will mark the start of Humboldt State’s year-long Centennial Celebration. This seemed like the perfect time to launch this official blog and website, which will feature archival photos, alumni stories, comprehensive calendar of events, merchandise and more.

One thing we’ve learned is folks are excited about HSU’s big ONE-OH-OH. Over the last year, we’ve talked about it with countless members of the extended HSU community - students, alumni, faculty, staff and other friends. Thanks to everyone who shared ideas. Many have already been incorporated, others are on a “hope-to-do” list (while others were beyond our budget or, frankly, would have landed someone in jail).

Comments, questions, feedback and critiques are welcome. Submit your ideas here »

Thank You Historians!

Nearly all the historical facts and photos on this website are available due to the efforts of Joan Berman and others in HSU’s Humboldt Room; former HSU History Professor William Tanner who authored the comprehensive campus history View from the Hill (available in the University Library); and HSU alumna Katy Tahja who authored the recent photo history titled Humboldt State University (available from the Humboldt Alumni Office).
