Role of College Council
College Council is the collective voice of the College in that it is an assembly of faculty, support staff, students, and administrators who suggest directions in which the College should proceed. College Council advises the President on those College issues which it considers to be long and short-term priorities as identified in Humber’s Strategic Plan.
As of 2018, Humber’s three Strategic Pillars provide the foundation for the strategic priorities and corresponding supporting actions:
- Career-Ready Citizens
- Accessible Education
- Healthy and Inclusive Community
The Council advises the President of the College in matters affecting academic policy, planning, and practice, including, the successful implementation of Humber’s Strategic Plan initiatives. College policy or business items ultimately proceeding to the College's Board of Governors may appear at College Council at the discretion of the President, before final disposition at the Board of Governors.

Call for Nominations
Who can be on College Council?
College Council will be comprised of elected representatives from academic staff members, support staff members, administrative staff members, and students.
Representatives' Responsibilities on the Council
College Council meets once per month on Thursdays during September to May, from 4 to 6 p.m. Meetings are either in-person or virtual. A meeting may also be held in the first week of June, one day following the annual retreat on June 1. All current, leaving, and new members are invited to attend the retreat.
It is the representative’s responsibility to represent their constituents by attending meetings and contributing to the discussions and bringing back information from College Council meetings to their constituents.
