In the Humboldt Connections program, students will enroll in two linked interdisciplinary General Education (GE) courses on topics relevant to the Humboldt region. Each option emphasizes active and involved learning opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom. Since Humboldt Connections includes only two classes, you will complete your Fall, 2008 schedule by taking additional classes of your choosing. Humboldt Connections will help fulfill GE requirements for every HSU major.
Shake, Rattle, and Roll (6 units)
Majors: Suitable for all majors in the social or natural resource sciences and/or students interested in social organization for disaster preparedness and learning hands-on disaster response skills. Students with AP English can be accommodated.
Description: In Humboldt, we live in earthquake country. Natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and Southern California Fire Storms have made us more aware of the need to prepare ourselves individually and as communities to survive and minimize the damage from disasters. We will critically examine ways in which we organize ourselves and develop plans to respond to natural disaster situations. In the lab session we’ll be taking a field trip , doing some on-campus research, and learning hands-on skills for emergency management.
