Art of Sustainability - color, relax and learn - using the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These critical call-to-action elements represent sincere ways that we all can advocate for social, environmental and economic issues. Whether you are interested in climate change, working on inequality and injustice, reducing poverty, developing clean water and more - this coloring page will allow you to see these topics in new ways. What are the intersections you see in life, work and your university projects? Coloring page - created by Angela Lukanovich and Jen Panaro https://www.raisingglobalkidizens.com/united-nations-sustainable-development-goals-coloring-poster/

Discover, Access, and Preserve GIS Data, Maps, and Aerial Photographs is easy thanks to Cal Poly Humboldt’s CanvasMap GSP dataset repository. Explore historic maps and aerial photos of Humboldt County, superimposed with student GSP projects. The GIS Data Archive was created from the need to preserve GIS projects, as well as, to make them discoverable and accessible. Our main objective is to have an organized space for easy access to GIS works of all types for research, student projects, and general use, and to provide a persistent location to the data and scholarship.

Camp Hall is an idea for a summer camp-esque program that could be hosted at the Vet’s Hall for elementary aged children. It would take place over the course of a few days and would not be overnight. Veterans/Fellows would be encouraged to participate in the camp and share things like crafts, basic survival skills, story telling, gardening, cooking, and science/exploration themed activities.

The Effectiveness of Different Teaching Methods in Physical Education. This will be the topic I’ll be addressing. I will also be printing my own poster for the day for idea feast.

The Geospatial Data Archive is a collection of useful GIS datasets, with an emphasis on Humboldt and Arcata, meant for students and community members as a whole to preserve and simplify the access of important geospatial data. We are also aiming to archive and display student and faculty projects. Data submission will be open to anyone with a registered account, once proper metadata has been filled out. Creating and maintaining useful metadata is another focus of the archive, as many datasets available online lack the necessary information to contact creators or to be fully understood by the average viewer

The Northern California Indian Development Council (NCIDC), founded in 1976, is a nonprofit organization. They are dedicated to serving the needs of Native communities across Northern California, around 15,000 clients annually. Our youth-focused initiative aims to highlight the importance of transportation and accessibility in connecting Native youth to The Nest Youth Center and community events. We strive to improve engagement by offering culturally relevant activities that strengthen identity and connection to one another. By fostering leadership and providing essential tools and resources, we aim to empower Native youth to grow, thrive, and become strong leaders within their communities.

University libraries often face challenges in making student research more accessible. Manual tagging of theses is time-consuming, while commercial AI tools can be costly and limit institutional control. This project, in collaboration with the Cal Poly Humboldt Press and the TIDE computing cluster, fine-tuned an open-source AI model, ModernBERT, to automatically classify theses using the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The model performed well, demonstrating a promising, cost-effective approach for libraries to enhance research discoverability while retaining ownership and flexibility.

The purpose of this research analysis is to (1) examine the effects on a runner’s foot and ankle biomechanics when transitioning to a minimal style shoe and to (2) find an approach to transitioning to minimalist shoes that minimized risks of injuries.

As a plethora of continuing research emerges from projects such as The Human Microbiome Project (NIH, 2008), there is more evidence than ever before on how the health of our "forgotten organ", known as the Gut Microbiota (GM), is linked to our lifelong holistic health. Between birth and 3 years of age, our GM will develop between 40-60% of the 100 trillion microbes that will coexist in balance with our bodies as adults; That is over three times the number of human calls in our bodies. That makes this short window critical to the physiological and mental health of our children. Spreading education while also providing resources for families is the primary goal of this collection of research.

We would like to discuss the benefits of service learning with adolescent children. We will discuss various aspects of working with middle school children. We will cover the after school program's purpose and their goals. Following we will mention our experiences and challenges that we encountered. Lastly we will end with a question to all HSU students, why one should consider service learning and what benefits do they see in the opportunities.
