As we continue to work and learn at home, it’s important to stay connected to our colleagues and our community. To help keep us all connected, we created the #HumberAtHome series. We want to know about how you are taking care of your well-being right now, how your teams are adding a bit of fun into your interactions, and which resources are helping you.
Here are some examples of what members of the Humber community are doing to bring their community together:
Community Integration through Co-operative Education
The faculty and staff of the CICE program are staying connected with the students by setting up Zoom social and wellness activities.
The CICE students have been happy to be able to chat, dance and play games with each other while staying safely in their homes – there were more than 40 participants last week!
Sanjukta Das from the Faculty of Business also guided the students through a virtual meditation session and reminded them of the importance of self-care, especially in our current situation.
