Dear Cal Poly Humboldt Community, We want to give you a quick heads-up about some sneaky text message scams (also called SMS phishing or “smishing”) that have been making the rounds lately and targeting members of our campus community—students, staff, and faculty alike. These scam texts try to catch you off guard by pretending to come from someone you know or trust, often with a sense of urgency. Lately, we’ve seen two main flavors:

Jet Dental, a professional dental team, will be coming on site to provide comprehensive exams, cleanings, and x-rays on Wednesday and Thursday. There are still a few open appointments available. May 21st, 2025 There are 2 Dental Exams available and 7 Teeth Whitening spots May 22st, 2025

Join us in celebrating UPD Sergeant Chance Carpenter's retirement and 18 years of service to the Cal Poly Humboldt campus community. When: May 17th from 4:30pm to 6:30pm Where: Student Business Services (SBS) Building 179 Come by and share your best wishes as Sergeant Carpenter begins his retirement adventure!

Dear Campus Community, As of April 30th, the application period for the Voluntary Separation Incentive Program (VSIP) has officially closed.  Each of our 40 colleagues who have chosen to participate has unique ties to our campus and varying separation dates. Because participation in the VSIP is a personal choice, any individual announcements will be made at appropriate times in coordination with the participants and their supervisors. A comprehensive list of participants will not be published due to these individual coordination efforts.

We want your feedback! Cal Poly Humboldt is committed to continuous improvement, including our internal guidelines and processes for campus space reservation and event planning. The divisions of Enrollment Management & Student Success and Administrative Affairs are collaborating to lead a refinement effort that kicks off this week by soliciting your feedback.

Good afternoon, Some of you may have received notifications from your health insurance regarding the possible termination of the UC Health Systems contract with Blue Shield of CA. I would like to share with you the following message from CalPERS to alert members who might be impacted by this potential change if an agreement has not been reached by June 30, 2025.
