Dear Campus Community, As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency, our campus will be participating in a Demand Response Test TODAY, Tuesday 8/26 from 4 p.m. – 6 p.m. What is a Demand Response Test? A demand response test is a planned event in which we temporarily reduce our electricity usage to help lessen demand on the power grid. These tests are important for ensuring grid reliability during times of high energy use and for supporting our institution’s sustainability goals.

Conference & Event Services has a new process for your Banner, Chalking, Poster, Staking, and Tabling requests. The policy has not been amended since the adoption of the CSU Time, Place, and Manner (TPM) Policy and Humboldt Addendum, but this process makes it easier for those attempting to follow the TPM to submit their requests, and for the University to ensure they are responsive to those requests.

Facilities Management is currently taking requests for van and bus reservations for the 25/26 Academic year. Please keep in mind that there are fewer bus drivers available this year compared to previous years, but you can increase the chances of booking a Van or Bus on your preferred day by getting your request in early. The bus/van request form can be found on the FM website here, along with the updated costs associated with this service.
