Aquaponics in the classroom, a students' perspective
- Alicia KeeFisheriesUndergraduate Student
- Cacy SlyvesterFisheriesUndergraduate Student
Aquaponic systems are a combination of hydroponic gardening and a recirculating aquaculture system, which is a very efficient way to produce marketable products for growers. Humboldt State University’s (HSU) aquaculture class had the opportunity to assemble an aquaponics system (Nelson and Pade, Inc.) for the first time. Our class was provided with the equipment that allowed us to demonstrate our abilities in constructing a fully functional aquaponics system. From the knowledge acquired in the academic setting, we were able to create a hands-on, tangible system. White Sturgeon were grown in the system along with a wide variety of vegetables with great success.
Arcata CA Yoga Culture Ethnographic Analysis: Themes of Communalism and Individualism
- Alicia OsmundsonAnthropologyUndergraduate Student
A 16 week ethnographic study of Arcata Yoga Culture was performed in Fall of 2018. To present findings, the poster overviews of the application of one of numerous lens of analysis used in the final ethnography to examine research results. A dualist lens, contrasting the concepts of communalism and individualism was selected for its tangible interpretation of yoga culture specific to Arcata by looking at how people of the community interact and conceptualize yoga. This lens was used in the ethnography to provide a base for the application of additional lens that could potentially giving insight into the role and interpretation of yoga in the general West and its acculturation process.
Arcata Demographics
- Michael ThomasPolitical ScienceUndergraduate Student
This poster will look at the demographics of Arcata and how this effects the community. This would include students at HSU and also people out in the community of Arcata. Looking at the demographics of a community would be interesting in order to see what the population looks like. For many people that live in a community they do not know the demographics because the community is so large. Even though a city like Arcata is small to most it is still large enough for many people not to know one another. This would also help improve the relations between the students of Humboldt State Univversity and the community of Arcata.

All together we volunteered over 60 hours at Arcata Elementary After School Program where we had to chance to interact with the staff and students. During this experience we were able to work one on one with some children as well as work/play with larger groups during "clubs". Being able to give our time to these children and focus on them for the few hours we were there was a very rewarding experience that we would like to share.

Area 1 Agency on Aging Volunteer Driver Program Annual Client Survey
- Alma T. BarbaSocial WorkGraduate Student
In 2012, Humboldt County was the home of just over 25,000 people over the age of 60. By 2050 Humboldt County will be the home of nearly 60,247, more than double documented in 2012. These statistics are alarming and should get the attention of all local (State & National) sectors working with the aging population on track to establish and sustain community resources necessary to allow the elderly to age safely, comfortable, respectfully, and with dignity in their homes and communities. In the efforts of enhancing local social services for seniors, I worked alongside Area 1 Agency on Aging on a client-centered survey geared to enhance local senior programming.
Around the Bay in 80 Days: Investigating the Relationship between Bird Diversity and Plants
Quinlan House, Wildlife Undergraduate Student
College of Natural Resources & SciencesThe goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between plant species richness and bird diversity within the area of Humboldt Bay situated in north-western California. Humboldt Bay hosts a unique array of natural areas such as redwood forests, coastal dune forests, and wetlands. We examined the effect of plant species richness and diversity on bird diversity in these three habitats around Humboldt Bay by conducting point counts, plant species censusing, and plant density sampling across 10 plots at each habitat.

- Alexa PanteArtUndergraduate Student
- Liz GordonArtUndergraduate Student
Art 100 (Global Perspectives in Art) has been fully online for several years. For Spring 2019, Professor Julie Alderson converted the class to a blended format - retaining significant online components, but also introducing weekly face to face elements. In converting the class, she enlisted three advanced Art Education students - Liz Gordon, Alexa Pante and Maya Strauss, to freshen up the How To videos associated with the class. This presentation will present these videos which were designed to help students complete art projects for the course.
Art Integration: Deepening Learning Through the Arts
- Sarah PetersEducationStaff
- Lauren ZikaEnvironmental StudiesUndergraduate Student
The North Coast Arts Integration Project (NCAIP) is a four-year federally funded project that seeks to integrate and strengthen arts instruction in eight rural elementary and middle schools with the goal of improving student academic performance, reasoning skills, creative thinking and engagement. NCAIP increases student exposure to the arts through field trips and in-school performances by local, national and international performing artists. In addition, our project builds community bridges by partnering teachers with local teaching artists and other local arts institutions. We will share examples of an arts integrated lesson and provide a chance for you to have a short arts experience.
