After 35 years at Humber in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Mike Badyk has decided to retire from teaching. In 30 years as a full-time faculty member, he has made significant contributions to the School, to our department, and, most importantly, to the education of thousands of Humber students.

Mike has been dedicated to keeping his courses full of the latest paleontological finds (Discovering Dinosaurs) and the most recent natural disasters and climate events (Dangerous Earth). By doing so, he has kept students engaged and learning about the world around them. Mike embraced learning outside of the classroom in the Nature of Ontario course and with a field trip to the ROM long before the term “experiential learning” was published in periodicals about pedagogy.

Please join me in congratulating Mike on his retirement.
