Packing Up, Moving Out

Home for the Holiday

Move-out Day is coming up soon. For many families, that means a happy homecoming and chance for students to regain focus over the summer. But before students who live in residence halls leave for summer break, they have to be completely moved out by 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 13. There’s a lot to think about, like cleanup, and changing their contact information through their Student Center accounts to ensure they continue receiving important announcements.

To help make moving out easier, and to further Humboldt State’s commitment to sustainability, the University offers Donation Dash, which helps students properly dispose of waste and recycling, and collects reusable unwanted goods for local charities.

Commencement

Congratulations to this year’s graduating class and the families who helped them through. There’s a lot to keep in mind if you’re attending this year’s ceremony. Please visit HSU’s Commencement website for more information.

2017 Outstanding Students

As the semester comes to a close, Humboldt State celebrates its outstanding students, faculty, and staff members. This year’s outstanding students are just a few of the many students who are doing amazing class work, projects, research, and volunteer work. Our outstanding faculty represent a commitment to global knowledge and social justice, and our staff come together every year to support students.
