Our University
Founded in 1913 as the Humboldt State Normal School,
the institution known today as Humboldt State
University (HSU) was established for the sole purpose
of educating and training teachers. However, the last
century has provided for significant growth. Humboldt
State is now the northernmost campus of the 23
California State Universities, a fully accredited public
university, and one of best post-secondary schools in the
nation. Students at HSU have the opportunity of an
extraordinary learning experience, taking on small class
sizes taught by faculty members who are ranked among
the top teachers and researchers in their respective fields.
Moreover, HSU offers students an extensive catalogue
of academic studies including; forty-eight major options,
several credential programs, and twelve Master’s
programs.
Our Location
Located on the North Coast, Humboldt State is in one of
the world’s the most beautiful natural environments. Just
275 miles north of San Francisco HSU is situated

Recognition
Due to the innovative nature of WRRAP program, HSU was
chosen by the California Integrated Waste Management
Board in 1992 to be one of three model campus-recycling
programs for the CSU and UC systems.
Of the three model programs, HSU was judged to be the
most in-depth and extensive. Over the years HSU has
received various awards and recognition for our sustainable
initiatives because of this we frequently receive requests for
information and advice from other university recycling
programs around the world.
Waste Reduction and Resource Awareness Program
(WRRAP) strives to encourage alternative perspectives on
consumption and provide a means for landfill substitution
through its five departments:
1) The Compost department offers a Compost
Demonstration Site and educational workshops, as
well as the collection and processing of our
campus’s compost.
2) The Education department engages in workshops
and events designed to raise awareness throughout
the student body and promote involvement in
WRRAP programming.
3) The reusable office supply program provides a
space for the donation of reusable materials on
campus, and tracks the amount of these materials
that have been repurposed free of charge rather than
sent to a landfill.
4) Take Back the Tap promotes the elimination of
bottled water on campus by providing reusable
water bottles and Hydration Stations offering a
place to fill these bottles with clean, filtered, and
great-tasting tap water, as well as offering students a
Bottle-Free Commencement.
5) The Zero-Waste Event department assists the
campus community in putting on events that
generate minimal to zero-waste, by providing
educational guidance, compost buckets, and
reusable dishware.
