Builders of Brilliance
This is not a moment. It’s a movement. When the world is moving at a thunderous speed, standing still is not an option. Canada’s productivity crisis wasn’t caused by a shortage of ideas. It was caused by a shortage of builders to implement them.
For 57 years, Humber has been the exception. The bridge between thinking and doing. Shaping minds that both imagine and execute. And just look at what we’re building.
We challenged ourselves to build new ways to make education more inclusive. To build responsive relationships with industry. To create a global impact that still resonates in the communities in which we live.
With a storied history of sparking innovation, we have the foundation. With breadth of programs and quality facilities, we have the tools.
At this pivotal moment of patriotism, Humber is needed more than ever. The country, the province and the post-secondary sector needs us to seize the opportunity to future proof our economy.
It’s time for us to embrace our roles as architects of opportunity, sculptors of solutions, and proponents of productivity.
Humber Polytechnic is the institution that builds what hasn’t even been imagined.
This isn't just higher education, it’s higher expectations.
It’s the Humber edge.

Building Brilliance Intro
Building Brilliance
Building Brilliance is a strategic vision, not a strategic plan. It is Humber’s North Star—guiding us to 2030 and beyond. Like a 7-point star, Building Brilliance was built with four core building blocks as the star’s lower points and three guiding pillars as its upper points. Our building blocks underpin all that we do and our guiding pillars give shape to the path forward.
