After 14 years of outstanding service and dedication to the Humber community, Deb McCarthy, Vice President Human Resources has decided to retire and enjoy her other passions in life.  Joining Humber in 2001 after a successful career in the private sector, Deb brought her talents as human resources professional to Humber as well as the Ontario college system through her leadership on provincial committees and initiatives.  

As Director of Human Resources and then Associate Vice President, Deb’s contributions to Humber were numerous, including the establishment of the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity and two successful presidential searches. Appointed Vice President Human Resources in April 2013, she has led the development of many significant policies and initiatives that have contributed directly to Humber’s recognition as an employer of choice through several awards.

As an enthusiastic supporter of our people and students, Deb has been a tremendous role model for the values of our caring community, ever present at special events and functions, and always making time to check in with staff.

The search process will begin immediately with Deb staying on until her successor is in place.

Please join me in thanking Deb for her service to Humber and wishing her every happiness for the future.

Chris Whitaker
President & CEO
