Host a Parent Reception

HSU is hosting a series of parent receptions in November and December. Are you interested in organizing one?

We're looking for parent volunteers to help host parties in the Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange County, Portland, Ore. and Seattle, Wash. This will be a great opportunity to connect with other HSU parents and families and learn what to expect when your student comes home from college.

If you're interested, please contact the Humboldt Alumni office at (707) 826-3132 or alumni@humboldt.edu.

Overheard on the Network
