Future Proofing Humboldt
Future Proofing Humboldt focuses on how to create the type of university that can adapt and thrive in the future and respond effectively to internal and external challenges and opportunities. With students at the center, we look to create the type of organizational environment that provides the educational experience students want and need now and in the future.
Statement of Vision for Future Proofing Humboldt Vision
Cal Poly Humboldt will invest in the resources and skills necessary for continual success and adaptability to ensure the University thrives in an ever-changing global higher education context. Fostering a proactive, forward-looking collegial environment that incentivizes creativity and collaboration among students, staff, faculty, and administrators will strengthen the University’s ability to prepare for or respond to internal and external challenges and opportunities quickly and efficiently. Matching ongoing demographic changes in both the state and the CSU system, the cultural knowledge and lived experience that a diversified body of students, staff, and faculty bring to the University will be highlighted as a strength so that members of the Humboldt community learn with and from each other.
