In Fall 2008 a proposal was made to obtain five animal-proof compost bins, five additional liners for the bins, a digital scale to weigh the amount of compost for monitoring purposes and five locks for Cal Poly Humboldt (Humboldt). 

In 2013, a two-year pilot of Zimride at Cal Poly Humboldt (Humboldt) was proposed. Zimride is a private university carpooling network for students, staff, faculty, and alumni. The program is designed to be a user-friendly ridesharing system for both daily commutes and long-distance travel.After the two year pilot program, the program was deemed successful. Parking and Commuter Services took over the management of this program. It is anticipated as of December 2020 the vendor will discontinue the service. 

Project proposes installing 9 new bottle filling stations for a total cost of $20,761 throughout Humboldt campus to save energy, reduce waste, and make it convenient for Cal Poly Humboldt’s community to refill reusable water bottles on campus. Final selected sites include: Redwood Bowl, JVD Lobby x2, Library x2, Gist Hall x1, Wildlife x1, BSS x1, and signage at Forbes and Gist Hall.

This project added 7 compost bins strategically placed around campus which allow for better accessibility to the campus community, ultimately reducing Humboldt’s impact on the landfill waste stream. This project also replaced 5 existing bins with a consistent style. Final additional exterior locations include: Natural Resources, Science D, Redwood Plaza, Art Quad, Founders Hall, Redwood Bowl, and Kinesiology & Athletics.  

This project proposes installing a system that consists of magnetic sensors placed at parking lot entrances and exits, an LED display sign, and a mobile web page that informs drivers of current parking conditions. The proposed locations are parking lots: G1, G11, G12, G13.

This project provided funding for student created films to raise awareness of HEIF. In 2019, a short film about HEIF’s Idea Paper process was published on youtube. Funds were spent on student stipends and other resources for the film's crew.

This project piloted 3 different kinds of 'smart' shower heads to measure the impact on water use in residence halls. This was a pilot project implemented in Canyon Residence Halls, the results of which showed that water use data was difficult to retrieve and the devices were not designed for a continuous-use commercial-style application and therefore broke frequently. Due to these results, the devices were not implemented large scale across campus.

The Food Sovereignty Lab is an interdisciplinary, collaborative effort that is student-designed and community-informed to create a cultural workspace for students to explore the theme of Indigenous Food Sovereignty at Cal Poly Humboldt. The Food Sovereignty Lab will renovate and locate in BSS 168, and sit adjacent to the Native Fourm and Goudin'i Gallery in the Behavioral and Social Sciences building. 

The Food Summit 2022 is a food justice focused event that took place during the first 3 weeks of April 2022. The primary goal of the Food Summit was to generate awareness of the BIPOC contributions and knowledge of food and discuss how the HSU community can build food resiliency and equity. The total Spring 2022 budget approved for this event is estimated to be $29,100 in addition to a $2,000 match funding given by Food Summit partner, La Comida Nos Une. $10,000 of the Food Summit Budget was allocated to the Indigenous Foods Festival, organized by the Rou Dalaguur Food Sovereignty Lab.

We would like to develop a Black Educational Farm program in collaboration with the Umoja Center for Pan African Student Excellence at the Bayside Park Farm. The Black Educational Farm program has 3 goals: 1. To teach and develop farming skills with Black students 2. To develop a sense of belonging in the local community 3. Facilitate discussions and learning that center Black experiences, knowledge and challenges pertaining to sustainability and land.
