L4Humboldt at the Cal Poly Library
Learn or Teach With Colleagues Across the CSU!
For several years what was called L4HSU has been a source of inspiration in many topics. Organized by the Cal Poly Humboldt Library, what is now known as L4Humboldt, short for LifeLong Learning Lounge at Cal Poly Humboldt, is an opportunity where people share their knowledge, play while learning, and make connections with each other during the summer.
In the past, they had interesting courses like Exploring Virtual Dissection, An Artist's Process, Defining Words (Your Personal Qualifiers), Put it on the Map with Google Maps, and many more.
But not everything is learning only, there are art and game hours, like Art Hour, Dungeons & Dragons for New Players, Truths and a Lie, and Meditation.
