Dear Guelph-Humber and Humber community,

To honour Lina Albahoth, a second-year student in the Justice Studies program at the University of Guelph-Humber, we will be lowering the flags at Humber to half-mast from sunrise to sunset on Friday, February 7.

The gesture serves as a symbol of our respect for Lina and the impact she had on the Guelph-Humber community during her time with us.

We recognize that grief is a difficult and personal experience. If you are an employee in need of support or are supporting someone who needs assistance, please reach out to someone close to you, your manager or Program Chair, or access the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) directly at 1.844.880.9142.

For learners seeking support, please reach out to Counselling Services with Student Wellness and Equitable Learning by contacting swac@humber.ca. Alternatively, if at any time a learner needs immediate personal support or counseling, you can access Good2Talk Helpline at 1.866.925.5454 or use Therapy Assist Online which provides online tools.

Once again, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Lina.

Sincerely,

Susan Thomas
Department Head, Student Services
University of Guelph-Humber
