It’s an experimental classroom without walls to encourage cross-disciplinary learning. Thanks to your contributions the Humboldt Scholars Lab is a place that welcomes everyone interested in advanced research pursuits.

Real-World Projects through Student Employment

The Library gives student employees direct hands-on experience to create beneficial programs such as:

"I had a clear goal for my transfer year - I took Foreign Relations and the Library Scholar internship. Working with local history gave me a path to a different career that I haven’t thought about before. Library Sciences has become a Plan B for my History degree. Maybe I wasn’t looking, but I definitely found it."

"We have been coming here since last semester. This is our spot! It leads to better communication because everyone can see what is going on (rather than looking over each other’s shoulders) and give input. We are Chemistry and Physics majors, but we don’t have keycards for the Chemistry computer lab, so this space is ideal for us."
