Thursday, Sept. 10
Humboldt State University is heading to the beach this Friday, Sept. 12, to raise awareness for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
Students, staff, and faculty will be at Trinidad State Beach at 3:30 p.m. to take the “Ice Bucket Challenge” in a sustainable way. With average water temperatures of 53 degrees, the nearby beach offers a perfect chill for taking the challenge for such an effort. Water will be dumped, but no ice-makers are necessary and no water will be lost.
Campus participants are encouraged to use public transportation and dress warmly. The forecast calls for patchy fog and high of 59 degrees.
Chico State posed the challenge to Humboldt State, as reported in USA Today’s college blog at http://college.usatoday.com/2014/09/08/california-colleges-take-drought-friendly-ice-bucket-challenge/.
