Advancement and Alumni is pleased to announce that on November 27, 2017, members of the Humber community gathered to celebrate six alumni for outstanding achievement and contributions for the 2017 Premier's Awards. The Premier’s Awards celebrate the achievements of Ontario college graduates in the province and throughout the world, and last night we walked away with a big win for Humber in the Technology category.
