Please join HSU President Lisa Rossbacher and your colleagues for the Humboldt Family BBQ, 4 to 6 p.m., Friday, Aug. 22 at the Events Field.

This special event to kick off the new academic year is for all faculty and staff, and everyone is encouraged to bring their family members. It will be a great time to socialize before the hectic first weeks of Fall classes.

The event is free for all attendees, and will feature food and live music. There will also be games, face painting, a bounce house, and more.

Supervisors have been asked to be flexible so that as many employees as possible can attend. However, some offices will need to remain open and some positions need to remain staffed. Please check with your supervisor about your specific situation.
