Castro, Ph. D.  \nChancellor, The California State University  \n401 Golden Shore  \nLong Beach, CA 90802-42101  \nDear Chancellor Castro,  \nAs you know, Humboldt State University is an amazing place with special people. There is a vibrancy that flows from the community to campus and from our students to our faculty. There are also incredible opportunities to live and learn amidst the beautiful natural environment surrounding our campus and community.  \nWe responded to the invitation to conduct a self-study toward a polytechnic designation by organizing teams of staff, faculty, students, and community partners to engage in a comprehensive, semester-long analysis of our existing strengths and new opportunities for growth. This process united and galvanized our campus, allowing us to recognize the many ways we are already operating as a polytechnic campus. We are ignited by the opportunity to infuse our unique character and creativity in our collective vision for a comprehensive polytechnic university for the 21st-century. This prospectus documents our existing strengths, our current approaches to meeting our challenges, and our plans for transformation as a polytechnic toward meeting the workforce needs of our region and state. It is a truly collaborative document written by teams from across our campus.  \nI am proud of the commitment, leadership, and engagement by the many individuals involved in the self-study process. I am grateful for the support our university has received already to make this dream a reality on behalf of our students and California. I sincerely look forward to working with you and your office, and our empowered campus community to breathe life into this plan as Humboldt State transforms into the CSU’s third polytechnic university.  \nVery Respectfully,  \nTom Jackson, Jr., Ed.D.  \nPresident  \n3  \nExecutive Summary  \nThe Opportunity  \n| California State University can transform Humboldt State University into California’s third polytechnic institution and the first polytechnic in Northern California. The designation is a comprehensive strategy to address the workforce shortage in STEM fields, expand opportunities for students while addressing equity gaps, and revitalize the North Coast economy. A polytechnic university in the northern part of the state would give more California students access to high-demand programs, arm them with hands-on experience, and a strong understanding of sustainability.\u003Cbr>The Need |\n| --- |\n| California needs another polytechnic campus focused on STEM workforce gaps. Increasingly, California families and news media share stories of students leaving the state to pursue a STEM education, or worse, giving up on their college plans. Across California, there are gaps in areas like engineering, technology, and healthcare. Access to these degree programs are limited at other CSU campuses and nationwide. For example, in Software Engineering at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo (SLO), a total of 575 students applied in 2020 with only 97 applicants selected (19 . 5% acceptance rate) and 34 students enrolled (35% yield rate) . The anticipated development of a Software Engineering program at HSU would immediately serve 200 students. In Mechanical Engineering at Cal Poly Pomona, just 1,058 students were admitted from a pool of 3,140 total applicants in 2017 (34% acceptance rate) . Anticipated development at HSU of a Mechanical Engineering program would serve 500 students. Along with addressing program capacity limitations at other CSU campuses, Humboldt State University is also uniquely situated to build upon its longstanding commitment to sustainability and provide solutions to the complex problems California faces today like climate resiliency, wildfire reduction, and a zero carbon footprint goal by 2045.\u003Cbr>The Solution |\n\nHumboldt State University’s approach to becoming a polytechnic university is to fill unique and unmet workforce gaps.
