The University experience, reimagined
“My time at Humboldt State University pursuing an engineering degree has not always been easy. However, due to the amazing efforts of my campus—particularly the place-based learning communities and peer mentoring programme —I have an incredible amount of support to help me succeed and thrive,” says Maria Angelica Garcia, now a fourth-year engineering student at Humboldt State University.
As the CSU’s most rural and remote campus, leaders at Humboldt State understand the importance of helping students feel like they are part of a community—that they belong there. According to Humboldt State Vice Provost Mary Oling-Sisay, Ph.D., one of the key practices that evolved is the focus on student learning communities. A student learning community is a curricular approach that links a cluster of courses around an interdisciplinary theme and enrolls a common cohort of students. They are designed to improve a student’s sense of belonging, community and place.
“Place-based learning communities provide a structure in which students can not only be welcomed into the university, but welcomed to this place and set on a productive path to becoming a scientist in this region of California,” says Dale Oliver, Ph.D., dean of the College of Natural Resources & Sciences at Humboldt State and past Integrated Curriculum Committee Chair of the University Senate.
