Have you ever thought where local World Famous Marching Lumberjacks originated from? I mean where exactly did all that silliness come from? Over 50 (+1) years ago the band was able to become the most loquacious, vehement, and fatuous student lead scatter band known to mankind, and your still probably thinking “why am I reading this?” Well, because you want to know about one of the oldest student run organizations on campus because it is still successful today. How has the world's most whimsical and nonsensical band been able to exist for this long? Well the roots of the band, which has been documented very well, created the foundations of a band embedded in HSU school spirit and community.

A look at how the adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) can integrate equity, accessibility, and universal design principles. This project was funded by a grant from the CSU Affordable Learning Solutions (AL$) program, 2019-2020.

“The Brain Booth Initiative: Recent Trends in Mindfulness and Contemplative Pedagogy in High School and University” examines the relationship between mindfulness and stress reduction to optimize learning in both high school and university settings. It outlines the most common trends based on a systematic review of articles from the past eight years. The majority of the studies use a self-reporting approach and show that mindfulness training reduces overall stress. The main limitation for most studies is small sample sizes due to voluntary involvement. The presentation then describes how the HSU Brain Booth is applying this research as they teach mindfulness and contemplative pedagogy.

Our purpose is to provide a platform that highlights and shares stories of HSU’s community engagement in Humboldt County and beyond. We publish stories that promote deep and enriching connections through learning, to enhance inclusivity and social and environmental justice efforts within the community. Redwood Roots is a community platform that serves to provide a direct, diverse, and transparent narrative that further encourages communal collaborations between students, alumni, faculty, and community partners. Redwood Roots highlight the diverse approaches HSU students engage in by combining learning objectives with community.

The HSU Publishing Catalog of 2021 includes the books, journals, reprints, and collections published by Humboldt State University Press, Geospatial Institute, and HSU departments and centers.

This poster serves as a visual presentation of some of the items collected from the community in the Humboldt in the time of COVID digital archive. Submissions in the archive have mainly been audio, video, or written submissions but many of the images also show some of the life of Humboldt residents on and off campus.

Rising textbook costs and the shift to the subscription model licensing has negatively impacted student success across the nation. The CSU Affordable Learning Solutions (AL$) program was created to support CSU campus initiatives for implementing strategies to reduce the cost of materials and foster more equitable student access to required course materials. This poster highlights the results of our outreach since the Cal Poly Humboldt Library joined the AL$ program. Our department has saved Cal Poly Humboldt students over $1M in course materials costs. Our primary methods are researching free OER material for possible adoption and supporting Cal Poly Humboldt faculty who publish new content.

The Cal Poly Humboldt 3D Digital Herbarium improves upon current digital herbaria by incorporating 3D models of flora in addition to images of specimens from physical herbariums. These annotated models in addition to a social component implemented with the integration of iNaturalist make for the most immersive, fun and memorable experience of any digital herbarium out there.
