HSU established a wildlife management program—reportedly the first of its kind in California—in what year?

• A) 1920
• B) 1940
• C) 1950
• D) 1960

Last month’s quiz asked, “What is the original name of the City of Arcata?” Congratulations to Jessie O’Kane (‘13, Liberal Studies-Elementary Education) for submitting the correct answer and winning the drawing: Union.

Note from the editor: The June newsletter quiz asked for the original name of Arcata. The answer is not Union, as indicated—it’s Goudi'ni, which is the Wiyot word for “over in the woods/among the redwoods” and on Wiyot land.
