Vice President for University Advancement

Our purpose is to enhance the reputation and standing of Cal Poly Humboldt and to maximize voluntary support in ways that are fulfilling to contributors and respond to the priority needs of the University in both the short term and over the long term.

Our vision is that all alumni, friends, campus partners, and others who care about our University are engaged in meaningful relationships in support of the mission of Cal Poly Humboldt.

The values that guide our work must reinforce the values of the University and demonstrate our accountability and transparency.
