Paul Geck
Department Chair
I have been working at Cal Poly Humboldt since 2006 teaching history and instructing students on how to produce college level academic work. My primary goal in the classroom is to cultivate students that can think critically about history and society and judge for themselves the validity of information and the subjectivity of academic writings.
