The Professional Writing and Communications (PWC) graduate certificate students are available for work in full-time writing and communications roles this spring and summer, from May to mid-August, for their work placement. PWC students work in various fields as grant/proposal writers, social media managers, communications specialists, editors and more!  

Third-semester PWC students are able to create documents suitable for a diversity of audiences and purposes using advanced linguistic and rhetorical skills and are prepared to produce work individually or in collaboration.   

The work-integrated learning experience should allow students to: 

• demonstrate proficiency in adhering to professional writing best practices;
• collaborate with others in a professional setting;
• show responsiveness to business and organizational procedures and protocols;
• apply core communications strategies and skills;
• and show time-management skills by completing assigned tasks in a timely and professional manner.  

For more information about hosting a PWC work placement, please contact Megan Hornblow at megan.hornblow@humber.ca.

To the Humber Community, 

The Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform anti-abortion group has indicated they plan to hold a small outreach event outside at Humber’s North Campus on Tuesday, March 12 from approximately 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.   

The group has visited on past occasions and based on those experiences we have worked to limit the impact of their visit while accepting their right to peacefully assemble on College property under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. 

We expect the group to be located just off the crosswalk between the bus loop and the LRC, and to remain outside of campus buildings. In order to minimize engagement, you can consider avoiding this area by using a different entrance to access campus. 

The group have agreed to remain in this location while on campus. Participants typically have signs and materials that contain graphic material that many people find upsetting or disturbing. They may distribute literature and/or attempt to engage people in dialogue. Please also note that interactions with the group may be filmed by the participants.  

You do not have to interact, speak with or receive any materials the group may be trying to hand out. It is advised that you avoid provocation or confrontation with participants. Should you require support before, during or after the group’s visit, available services include:  

• Therapy Assist Online   
• Employee Assistance Plan services

Students may also indicate a need for support. Please direct them to the Student Wellness and Accessibility Centre. Also, GoodToTalk (1.866.925.5454) is a 24-hour mental health support for post-secondary students in Ontario.   

Please contact Andrew Leopold by email or Teams if you have any questions.
