The Forever Humboldt Mobile Alumni Center is impossible to miss. Big, bold, and decked out in Cal Poly Humboldt tributes, the vehicle has become a rolling celebration of connection, community, and Humboldt spirit.
The Mobile Alumni Center was designed to take the Humboldt spirit on the road, allowing alumni, families, and friends to gather and stay connected wherever they are. From Seattle to San Diego, the vehicle brings alumni, families, students, and supporters together through gatherings big and small—all with a little Lumberjack flair. Whether it's tailgates, parades, river days, mixers, or campus celebrations, the Mobile Alumni Center turns every stop into a chance to reconnect and celebrate what it means to be part of the Humboldt family.
The Mobile Alumni Center regularly hosts alumni mixers in cities across the West Coast. Whenever alumni come together, the Mobile Alumni Center recreates a sense of Humboldt through shared stories, familiar faces, and abundant school pride.
