What's the Big Deal About
Polytechnic, Anyway?
As Northern California’s first polytechnic, Humboldt is equipped to do all of the things that made our education so successful in the first place — but to do them more, to greater extents, and with greater impact. That means hands-on, impactful educational opportunities that produce real-world good.
Good on campus, good for California
From freshmen learning communities to exploring in the world and striving for equity, we put our principles into practice.
Here, passion meets practicality
Raised in a house where the rumble of fighter jets was a soundtrack, Meg Godlewski (’87, Journalism) came by her passions for aviation and writing honestly — and, after discovering news reporting at Humboldt, carried that love into a career as a veteran journalist in aviation. Now she’s technical editor for Flying — the largest aviation magazine in the United States.
Honoring our greatest giants
First drawn to forestry for purely practical — financial — reasons, Cal Mukumoto (’77, Forestry) wouldn’t describe himself as “a pure forestry guy”. But, after walking among the Redwoods and learning in place along the North Coast, Cal treasured both forestry itself and his broader Humboldt education. Now he’s Oregon’s 14th State Forester, leading hundreds of employees and managing 745,000 acres of state forests.
