Cal Poly Humboldt hosts campus events and resources today
Cal Poly Humboldt is presenting a series of campus events today that include an academic seminar on algal morphology and a graduate school information session for students. These programs provide immediate academic enrichment and practical advising, helping students connect with research expertise and professional development resources.
Cal Poly Humboldt is holding coordinated campus events today that bring research, graduate advising, and student services into accessible on campus settings. At 4:00 p.m. in SciB 135 the Biology Seminar titled Seaweeds doing math: Mathematical patterns in algal morphology when, who, and how will be presented by Siobhan Braybrook of UCLA. Earlier in the day the Career and Development Center is hosting a Grad School Info Session from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. in the Library Scholars Lab on the third floor, with registration available through Handshake and lunch provided.
These gatherings are listed on the campus Opportunities in Bloom calendar which aggregates seminars, student opportunities, and campus notices for early December. The page functions as a central hub for students, faculty and staff seeking near term events and campus resources. By consolidating event details such as room assignments and registration instructions the calendar reduces friction for student participation and supports institutional transparency about programming.
The Biology Seminar brings outside research capacity to Humboldt County by featuring a UCLA scholar working at the intersection of mathematics and marine biology. That subject matter has direct relevance to local coastal ecosystems and to Humboldt County interests in fisheries, kelp restoration and marine science education. The graduate school session supplies practical steps for students planning advanced study, offering direct contact with campus career staff, guidance on application logistics, and an opportunity to build peer networks.
For local students the combination of research exposure and advising lowers barriers to academic advancement and career planning. For faculty and staff the events provide opportunities to showcase departmental work and to recruit students into research projects. For the broader community these public academic events strengthen town campus links by opening campus expertise to regional stakeholders who track coastal science and workforce development.
Attendees should plan to arrive at the posted room locations on time and to register for the graduate school session via Handshake to secure a spot and to confirm lunch arrangements. The Opportunities in Bloom calendar continues listing additional seminars and student opportunities through December.
