Dear Community,

It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the recent passing of Humber student Rostyslav Rusnyak. As a community, we are deeply saddened by this loss and our thoughts and condolences go out to Rostyslav’s family and loved ones during this difficult time. 

To honour Rostyslav and their memory, we will be lowering the flags at the college to half-mast on March 14. This gesture serves as a symbol of our respect for Rostyslav and the impact they had on our Humber community during their time with us.

The family has asked that we share the funeral information with members of the community who may wish to attend and express their condolences.

The service will be held March 14 at 10:30 a.m. at St. Mary’s Ukrainian Catholic Church.

We recognize that grief is a difficult and personal experience. As an employee, if you need support or are supporting someone and want to talk, please reach out to someone close to you, your manager or associate dean, or EAP directly (1.844.880.9142).

If students are looking for support, please reach out to Student Wellness and Accessibility Centre (swac@humber.ca). Alternatively, if at any time they need immediate personal support or counselling, they can access the Good2Talk Helpline at 1.866.925.5454.

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

Sincerely,

Sterling Crowe
Associate Dean, Student Wellness & Equitable Learning
