The Mission of Humboldt State University
From the Humboldt State Unversity Strategic Plan:
"Humboldt State University is a comprehensive, residential campus of the California State University. We welcome students from California and the world to our campus. We offer them access to affordable, high-quality education that is responsive to the needs of a fast-changing world. We serve them by providing a wide array of programs and activities that promote understanding of social, economic and environmental issues. We help individuals prepare to be responsible members of diverse societies.
These programs and the experience of a Humboldt State education serve as a catalyst for life-long learning and personal development. We strive to create an inclusive environment of free inquiry, in which learning is the highest priority. In this environment, discovery through research, creative endeavors and experience, energizes the educational process."
The Mission of the Humboldt State University Advancement Foundation
The Humboldt State University Advancement Foundation exists to support and advance the mission of Humboldt State University by securing private support, developing and managing entrepreneurial activities, overseeing philanthropic activities, and managing endowed and other assets as requested by the University.
The Mission of Humboldt State University's Advancement Division
"University Advancement's mission is to assist Humboldt State University in the fulfillment of its vision, mission, and values as articulated in the strategic plan by providing primarily financial, but also social resources.
Accordingly, we seek to be aware and understanding of the lives of our alumni, benefactors, future students, and others associated with the University, while also seeking to increase their awareness and understanding of, and involvement with, the people, programs and vision of Humboldt State University.
