‌Campus Access, Resources, and Support

April 28, 2024 - 7:39 p.m.

A hard closure of campus is now being enforced through May 10, and individuals are prohibited from entering or being on campus without permission. The safety and security of our entire campus community are at the forefront of every decision being made. Work and academic instruction will be remote and a process has been defined for authorized personnel to campus access. 

Since Monday, the University’s goal has always been to bring a peaceful end to the occupation. The University continues to talk to anyone willing to have productive and respectful dialogue.

The Effects of the Pandemic on Our Southern Indigenous Immigrants in Rural Humboldt

Centro del Pueblo

Brown Bag Lunch Online Presentation with Karen Villa, Researcher

Monday, April 18, 2022 - 12:00pm

Brown Bag Lunch Online Presentation with Karen Villa, Researcher: The presenter will describe the lasting effects that the 2020 pandemic had on our Southern Indigenous immigrant population here in Humboldt County. As the pandemic of 2020 began, many immigrants were forced to take -- if not already in -- essential jobs that exposed them to COVID-19. This presentation will detail the mobilization of the community to support the government's lack of resources and funds directed to these immigrant essential workers.

Centro del Pueblo is an immigrants rights organization with a main focus of advocacy and empowerment of the southern Indigenous and Latinx immigrants in Humboldt County. It is a community organization that unites diverse members of the immigrant indigenous population in Humboldt, with strong historical, social, and cultural roots. Centro del Pueblo recognizes the value of Indigenous roots, and offers a space for the empowerment of the community with practices of political and cultural self-determination.

Karen Villa is a Humboldt State University graduate with a master's in academic research in psychology. Shewas born in San Diego and is a daughter of Mexican immigrants. In her education and work she has been especially interested in working within her own community (Southern Indigenous/Latinx) in the fields of education, immigrants rights, food sovereignty, and gendered violence.
