Welcome to 100% Humboldt — a locally produced podcast hosted by Scott Hammond, who interviews the movers and shakers on the North Coast.
On this episode Dr. Richard Carvajal, the new president of Cal Poly Humboldt, sits down with Scott Hammond for a conversation about growing up in Humboldt, the mentors who changed his life, and what it means to come home to lead the university. They talk about commencement, the Cal Poly transformation, new degrees and facilities, athletics, community partnerships, internships, and the role Humboldt can play in keeping graduates on the North Coast. Along the way, Richard shares the personal story behind his work in education - from hardship and help to a career build around changing lives.
