What a year it's been

There is an anniversary coming up, and it’s one many of us would likely prefer not to be celebrating. It has been almost a year since we made the decision to temporarily close Humber campuses for the safety of all students, faculty and staff amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

On March 13, 2020, we announced that Humber would cease on-site classes for a week. At the time, we had no idea that the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic would persist one year later, and that most of our staff and students would still be learning and working remotely.

So many things have changed since then. Much of our connection with peers and colleagues has shifted online, as have most courses and student services. We were able to reopen and begin limited in-person education in the summer with health and safety protocols in place. It’s been a year of adapting and innovating.

#HumberTogether Series: A one-year lookback at notable moments at Humber during the COVID-19 pandemic 

March 13, 2021 marks one year since the COVID-19 pandemic led to Humber campus closures and brought tidal waves of change for staff, faculty, students and the wider Humber College community. 

In March of 2020, the college announced it would cease on-site classes for a week. Nobody knew what the future would bring, but the community united to move forward. 

Throughout the first two weeks of March, Humber Today will publish stories showcasing some of the exceptional efforts of various departments, clubs and individuals over the last 365 days as part of a #HumberTogether Series.
