Do you have an idea about how to make HSU a more sustainable campus? Submit your idea to HEIF!

The Humboldt Energy Independence Fund (also known as HEIF) is an on-campus organization that promotes student-driven projects to reduce environmental impacts associated primarily with energy use. Idea Papers are a chance for students to submit their concepts to the HEIF committee, a group which will then review all submitted papers and choose which ones they’d like to move forward into the development phase. (The development phase can be understood as the process of exploring feasibility, or developing formal proposals with logistical details and budgets). If you’re interested in contributing an idea, writing an Idea Paper is a way to do it! 

Idea Papers may only be authored and submitted by students (interested faculty and staff should collaborate with a student if they wish to participate in the Idea Paper process). To submit, email your paper to heif@humboldt.edu. 

2020 Idea Papers are due March 25th by 5 pm.

All students who are interested in putting forth an idea should attend an informational session. Info sessions will be held at:

• Friday Feb 28, 3pm at HGH 106
• Monday Mar 2, 9am at LIB 114
• Thursday Mar 5, 12pm at TA 114
• Monday Mar 9, 5pm at TA 114
• Tuesday Mar 10, 1pm at LIB 114

You may also request that HEIF bring a presentation to your group, class, or organization. To request and schedule, please email heif@humboldt.edu.
