We’re excited to celebrate the release of Humber Polytechnic and the University of Guelph-Humber’s 2024–2025 Well-being Strategy Annual Report — a milestone that showcases our shared commitment to creating a healthier, more supportive campus community.
Now in its second year of implementation, the Well-being Strategy continues to make a meaningful impact by embedding health and well-being across every part of campus life. Guided by the four interconnected dimensions of well-being, this year’s report celebrates the programs, partnerships, and people shaping a culture where everyone can thrive.
Check out our video to see how our community envisions well-being on campus.
The 2024–2025 report also amplifies the voices of our learners and employees, whose feedback continues to inspire new initiatives and guide our collective progress. Together, we’re building momentum toward a future where well-being is at the heart of teaching, learning, and working.
Explore the full report and discover well-being resources on the Healthy Hub website.
We are excited for Humber’s Got Talent, a Humber Gives fundraising event in support of the Student Food Security Fund. This fund provides students currently experiencing food insecurity with an equivalent of a $5 daily subsidy for food purchases on Humber campuses. One hundred per cent of funds raised at the Humber’s Got Talent event will go directly into the Student Food Security Fund.
In line with Humber’s vision of Builders of Brilliance, we believe this event is a fantastic opportunity to come together to drive impact within our community, showcase our diverse talents, and support a cause that directly impacts our students’ well-being.
We are holding an open call for all Humber and UofGH staff and faculty members to volunteer to participate and showcase their unique talents. Whether you sing, dance, juggle, perform magic, or have any other special skill, we want to see it!
Audition Details:
Date: November 10 to 14, 2025 (time to be confirmed based on your availability)
Location: Auditions will be held at North Campus, LinX Lounge
Event Details:
Date: December 2, 2025

On December 2, 2025, let’s make Humber’s Got Talent another memorable event, and show our students that brilliance is built together. Once our Humber talent is confirmed, there will be more information about the event and ways to donate to the Student Food Security Fund. Your participation of talent or as an audience member can make a significant difference in students’ lives.
Thank you for your support!

Journal of Innovation in Polytechnic Education (JIPE) is pleased to announce the publication of 'Clustering Ontario Renters' by Anthony Piscitelli, PhD.
Abstract:
A survey conducted in the Canadian province of Ontario was used to identify five groups of renters through factor analysis and cluster analysis. 1) Former Buyers are older individuals who have purchased in the past or explored purchasing and are now renting. 2) Active Buyers are individuals who are planning to buy and have taken steps, such as securing pre-approval on a mortgage, to begin to find a home to purchase. 3) Planning Buyers plan to purchase a home but have yet to take active steps. 4) Considering Planning are individuals who may or may not someday purchase a home. 5) Not Planning are individuals who do not believe they will ever own a home. These groups are compared to measure attitudes toward their homes, neighbourhoods, civic issues, and well-being.

Dear Humber community,
Over the last few days many of us have heard about the devastation and impact of Hurricane Melissa on Jamaica and the Caribbean region. We know that many members of our community are personally affected by the hurricane and have family members and loved ones in the region as well. It is a difficult time, and we ask our staff to be understanding and supportive of their colleagues and students navigating the results of this natural disaster.
If you are personally impacted, please take care of yourself and speak with your manager if you need support or flexibility in the days ahead. We also encourage faculty to continue to demonstrate flexibility and understanding with their students who may be impacted.
We continue to support students and employees who may need assistance during this difficult time. We ask that staff who support students in their learning experience ensure they are aware of the following resources should they need them:

From her early days at Humber’s bookstore to her current role as Dean of Education & Training Solutions, Wanda has shaped programs, supported colleagues, and helped Humber grow into the leading institution it is today.

Every contribution, large or small, is both a show of gratitude to Wanda and an investment in the students and school she has proudly championed for decades.
