Hello Humboldt families! We hope this newsletter helps keep you involved with your student's experience at Humboldt State.
Mark Your Calendar –
Homecoming & Family Weekend
Desiree Perez
It's still summer, but planning is well underway for Homecoming & Family Weekend, Oct. 15 – 17. You'll still be able to enjoy football, the big BBQ, and time with your student – but this year there will also be an Arts Showcase, Behind-the-Scenes Tours and much more. If you've ever thought about attending, this is the year to do it. And if you've been before, you should definitely come again to check out the new and expanded version.
You'll want to get into town well before 4 p.m. on Friday so you can meet other families at the Parent & Family reception. And don't miss Sunday brunch at the "J" for good food and goodbyes.
Here's a preview …
Friday, Oct. 15
4 p.m.
Parent & Family Welcome Reception: Mingle with other families while enjoying hors d'oeuvres that showcase the flavors of Humboldt County.
8 p.m.
Attend a screening of National Geographic's "Redwood Giants," a documentary featuring HSU professor Steven Sillett.

Meet Humboldt: Meagan Dupre
"I chose HSU because the journalism department had more than just a newspaper. Osprey Magazine and KRFH sounded like fun and offered a bigger range of experience than other schools had. After graduation I plan to move to San Francisco and apply for jobs in advertising or layout. I have considered grad school but have not made any decisions yet. If I do go, it will be to an arts school for Graphic Design." Read More »
"Target in Eureka has an entire row of small refrigerators so it is easy enough to pick one up here. I was impressed last year when we dropped off my freshman how well stocked the whole store was. Also microwaves are allowed. You will want to get a small one that will fit on top of the frig because there isn't a lot of space in the dorm rooms." Read more »
