During the week of May 3-7th, the 8th Annual ideaFest Symposium will be hosted online through a new site called “Platform Q.” HSU students, staff, and faculty can still participate in ideaFest by sharing their research & creative activities in the following ways:

• Online registration deadline for ideaFest is this Friday April 23rd, 2021. Participants can submit their projects online at https://ideafest.humboldt.edu/. You can submit digital posters or pre-recorded video presentations (including artistic performances, photography, digital art presentations, and more!)

• If your classes have live zoom presentations already scheduled for the week of May 3-7th and you’d like them to be “featured events” in ideaFest to draw in a broader audience let us know! Email Erika Andrews at Erika.Andrews@humboldt.edu with the details of your research presentations, talks, live events, performances, etc. and we can cross-promote them in Platform Q that week.

• Anyone from the HSU community can also submit their academic essays or research articles for the next issue of ideaFest Journal, HSU’s own peer-reviewed academic journal. The deadline to submit your publication proposals is December 31, 2021. For more information about ideaFest Journal contact Kyle Morgan at Kyle.Morgan@humboldt.edu 

We are all excited for the opportunity to support the development and dissemination of research & creative activities at Humboldt State University!

If you have any other questions, please email Sally Hang at Sally.Hang@humboldt.edu.
