Welcome to a special edition of North Coast Conversations, where we’re straying slightly from our usual formula to feature an interview with the new Cal Poly Humboldt President Richard Carvajal.

After assuming the position on Jan 20, Carvajal held media interviews in his office on Friday Jan. 23, where KHSU sat down with the new president. We asked Carvajal about Cal Poly Humboldt’s enrollment goals, the university's budget, and how he plans to involve students and the surrounding community more in the university’s decision-making.

This recording includes highlight's from the interview and was edited for length and clarity.

You can find more information on Carvajal at humboldt.edu/president or contact his office at president@humboldt.edu.
