EMSS Team Members: Good morning, team, and welcome back to campus and - almost - the spring semester! I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break and was able to spend some time relaxing, even if you are one of our team members who spent a portion of the break on call because of your student support duties. I know the coming week will be packed with activities and low-level chaos as students scramble to finish up all the minor details they have left during the first week of class.

Gutswurrak Student Activities Center 225 - Kate Buchanan Room (KBR) Saturday, January 31, 2026, 8 – 11pm FREE for Cal Poly Humboldt Students - *Tickets Required* Los Angeles psych-punk shapeshifters Frankie and the Witch Fingers have spent the last decade mutating their sound into bold, electrifying new forms. Their latest release, Trash Classic (via Greenway Records and The Reverberation Appreciation Society), plunges into a sewer-slick fusion of proto-punk venom, fractured new wave, and industrial grime. Brimming with wiry synths, angular melodies, and grooves that squirm and bite, it’s all delivered with a sly, playful wink. Fueled by relentless global touring and a fierce DIY ethos, the band has shared stages with OFF!, Ty Segall, Oh Sees, Cheap Trick, and ZZ Top, cementing their place as one of the most unforgettable live acts around. Frankie and the Witch Fingers continue to morph, dragging listeners into whatever warped direction their experimental journey takes next.
