Beyond the Classroom

The Trillium Project is a Humboldt based faculty development program that advances sustainability across the curriculum. The Sustainability Learning Retreat is a part of the Trillium Project and is hosted each year. Through these offerings Cal Poly Humboldt is recognized as a Center for Sustainability Across the Curriculum, a program which aims to accelerate the infusion of sustainability content into curriculum by partnering with institutions of higher education to offer workshops and other professional development opportunities.

At Cal Poly Humboldt, we’re surrounded by beauty, from the Pacific Ocean to ancient redwood forests, and we’re part of the rich communities of the North Coast. The stunning landscape and the people here are sources of inspiration for students, faculty, and staff. They’re also reminders that it’s on us to maintain and improve these natural and human resources for future generations.

With that in mind, we are proud of our longstanding commitment to environmental and social responsibility. Through a range of efforts that span the curriculum, campus programs, and University initiatives—many of which are driven by our students—Cal Poly Humboldt continues to be a leader in integrating sustainability into nearly everything we do.
