An Inspiring Event for American Indian Students!
For over 50 years, Cal Poly Humboldt has hosted American Indian College Motivation Day (AICMD).
This event, which is held on the first Thursday in November, focuses on preparing high school students for what to look for and expect in college, creating a sense of belonging and cultural relevancy, and connecting students to their support team at Humboldt.
AICMD is organized in partnership by the Office of Admissions, Indian Tribal & Educational Personnel Program (ITEPP), Indian Natural Resource Science & Engineering Program (INRSEP), and the Office of the President.
This program is open and available to all who are interested in applying and/or participating, regardless of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.
