Well-being at Humber Polytechnic and University of Guelph-Humber is a shared commitment, and we’re excited to highlight the incredible initiatives making an impact. As we prepare the 2024-2025 Well-being Strategy Annual Report, we’re collecting stories, data, and insights from teams and individuals across our community. 

If you or your team have a program or initiative that aligns with the Well-being Strategy—whether supporting students, staff, or both—we’d love to showcase your work. We’re specifically looking for data and insights from the 2024-2025 academic year (September 1, 2024 – April 30, 2025) to highlight your impact. This is a great opportunity to share your successes, inspire others, and contribute to a culture of well-being at Humber.
