Justin is both the club president and a team captain in only his second year with Humboldt Lacrosse. A transfer student from Santa Barbara City College, Justin stepped in a leadership role with the team from Day One, literally recruiting students in the dining hall before he had even ever practiced with the club. Since that very first practice, Justin has helped lead the team’s recruiting and outreach programs, and is always the first to meet prospects when they come on campus or act as an ambassador at public events.

India has made a difference on the Cal Poly Humboldt Campus with the ongoing student support she has provided to other students in a variety of contexts during the entire time she has been working towards her Bachelor’s Degree. Currently, India is working as a Supplemental Instruction Leader for students taking Botany 105. India’s role as a Supplemental Instruction(SI) Leader requires her to be responsible for leading two Credit/No Credit university classes a week that students enroll in, and she independently creates active-learning lesson plans for these sessions.

Harrison seeks a career in sustainability, and through his academic and non-academic pursuits he is setting himself up to achieve that vision. To exemplify this, he has embarked on a position as an ATLAS fellow. ATLAS is a program of the Post-Landfill Action Network (PLAN), to which Cal Poly Humboldt is a member. Harrison will be working this semester with PLAN, my office and another ATLAS fellow to develop a Zero Waste Action Plan for the campus. This requires significant research, analysis, stakeholder engagement and project management.
