Cal Poly Humboldt's Grad Slam celebrates the exciting research conducted by graduate students.

For some, it helps to develop an "elevator pitch" for their research. Participation in Grad Slam showcases communication abilities which is an essential skill for any graduate student. Cal Poly Humboldt’s Grad Slam Competition will be held in person in the Goodwin Forum on April 2nd from 2-4PM.  Refreshments provided!  The top three students will receive a cash prize!

Behavioral & Social Sciences 166 - Lecture Room Thursday, April 30, 2026, 5:30 – 7pm America’s Nuclear Waste Gridlock and the Future of the Humboldt Bay Spent Fuel Site The United States has generated more than 90,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel but still lacks a permanent underground repository to store it. As a result, nuclear waste remains stranded at more than seventy sites across the country—including the Humboldt Bay spent fuel storage installation—while federal policy has cycled through decades of stalled initiatives, legal constraints, and partisan policy realignments.   Drawing on his experience as a senior program manager in the U.S. Department of Energy (2022–2025) and more than fifteen years of research on nuclear institutions, anthropologist Vincent Ialenti examines the legal, financial, and cultural forces that have kept the U.S. nuclear waste program in a prolonged state of gridlock. Taking Humboldt Bay as a local reference point, Ialenti situates the North Coast site within the broader national challenge of governing radioactive materials with half-lives extending millions of years into the distant future. The talk explores how societies attempt to make credible intergenerational promises about safety, stewardship, and justice—and why such promises have proven difficult to sustain amid the rapid tempos of American political culture. Vincent Ialenti is an anthropologist who explores how nuclear institutions govern time, engage publics, and sustain continuity across uncertain futures. During the Biden Administration, he served as a senior program manager in the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy, where he led the Consent-Based Siting Consortia: a $24m national program advancing community participation in siting spent nuclear fuel storage facilities. Prior to his federal service, Ialenti was a MacArthur Assistant Research Professor at George Washington University's Elliott School of International Affairs and held fellowships at USC, University of British Columbia, and Cornell University’s Society for the Humanities. He is now on the research faculty of Cal Poly Humboldt’s Department of Environmental Studies.   Ialenti is the author of Deep Time Reckoning (MIT Press, 2020) and Longstorming (MIT Press, forthcoming). His work has been featured by the BBC, Scientific American, NPR, Forbes, and other outlets. His research has been supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, the Mellon Foundation, the MacArthur Foundation, and The Berggruen Institute. Ialenti holds a PhD from Cornell University and a MSc from the London School of Economics. Join us on Thursday, April 30 @ 5:30 pm in BSS 166 (next to the Native American Forum). This event is free and open to the public, and ADA accessible parking is available in the lot immediately to the south of the Native Forum building. For questions or accessibility requests, please contact schatzenergy@humboldt.edu or call 707-826-4345.

This year’s special guests include the “Paganini of the steelpan” Liam Teague, rising star Khan Cordice, and 17-year-old prodigy Jaden Teague-Núñez.   The Cal Poly Humboldt Calypso Band brings the vibrant sounds of Trinidad to the stage with high-energy “Calypso” and “Soca” music. Influenced by master composers like Ray Holman and Len “Boogsie” Sharpe—who have written original works for the group—the band’s legacy includes alumni performing at Trinidad’s National Panorama Competition and leading steelbands nationwide.   Liam Teague, Professor of Music at Northern Illinois University, is celebrated worldwide for pushing the artistic boundaries of the steelpan, performing with Grammy-winning artists, and composing for leading steelbands. Khan Cordice, Antigua and Barbuda’s most decorated Panorama arranger, is an award-winning musician, composer, and educator whose work has been showcased everywhere from Buckingham Palace to Dubai Expo 2020. At just 17, Jaden Teague-Núñez has already made history as the first steelpan player to win the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Young Artists Competition and will debut with the CSO in 2025.
