College of Professional Studies

Our project idea involves hosting a campus-wide scavenger hunt that will span three days, featuring four quests/scavenger hunts daily, totaling twelve activities. This event is exclusively for Cal Poly Humboldt students. Our aim is to offer an exciting recreational opportunity for participants to engage in interactive and social activities outside of their dormitories, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among students. By organizing these activities on campus, we hope to encourage students to step out of their comfort zones while still feeling connected to their academic environment.

Our project idea involves hosting a campus-wide scavenger hunt that will span three days; Mon April 22-25, 2024, featuring four quests/scavenger hunts daily, participants will be given a riddle that will lead to one of 12 buildings on campus. In these buildings, we have hidden a piece of paper with a QR code. Students must bring this QR code back to our table on the quad and win a gift card. This activity is being held in part by WRRAP. Our aim is to offer an exciting recreational opportunity for participants to engage in interactive and social activities outside of their dormitories, fostering a sense of community and camaraderie among students.

Cal Poly Humboldt GIS Data Archive

Luis Gomez, Other Undergraduate Student

Library

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

California Assembly Bill 32: GHG Cap and Trade Program

College of Professional Studies

In 2006 the California State Assembly passed Assembly Bill 32, or the California Global Warming Solutions Act. AB-32 appointed the Air Resources Board as lead agency to implement a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions back to 1990 levels by 2020. One of the ways that the ARB is facilitating this reduction is through the development and implementation of California's first GHG emissions cap and trade program. The program sets a maximum amount of allowable emissions for the industry (the "cap") then enables individual businesses to "trade" emissions allowances . Trading creates incentives to reduce GHGs below allowable levels through investments in clean technologies.

California’s Trinity River faces rising threats from outdated infrastructure, federal overreach, and climate change. This poster distills key findings from the California in the Crosshairs public policy series, analyzing infrastructure failures, collapsing salmon runs, and misguided federal water releases. It proposes local solutions—groundwater recharge, urban water independence, and Sites reform—to secure California’s rivers, ecosystems, and tribal rights before irreversible damage occurs.

California State University System FY 2011-15 Financial Condition & Capacity Assessment

College of Professional Studies

The CSU system is the largest public university system within the US. Purpose of this study is to assess the financial condition and viability of the system, as well as individual campuses. We examined four years of independently audited financials presented in a standardized format. Using financial ratios we identify trends, establish benchmarks, and highlight areas of concern. In our analysis, we attempt to identify causal determinants of stronger financial performance, including controllable activities and non-controllable. This study seeks to understand the role management structure and related controls play in the long-term financial condition and solvency of public institution.
