Retirement Announcements - Mathematics, General Arts and Science and Academic Upgrading

June 3, 2013

 

The Mathematics Department would like to bid a very fond farewell to Professor Rick Law who will be retiring this year.
…..

Rick joined Humber in 1979 and focused much of his teaching career on business mathematics and statistics. He has co-authored several statistics textbooks that are used in more than 30 colleges and universities across Canada. In addition to his vast expertise in the classroom, Rick has been engaged in many collaborations including being a regular contributor to the OPSEU newspaper, chairing the program review committee for the Sheet Metal Program and taking on the role of VP of the faculty union. Rick served as a mentor to many of his colleagues and will be long remembered for the many contributions to the department.

The General Arts and Science department would like to bid a very fond farewell to Teaching Master Wayne Sim who will be retiring this year.
…..

Wayne joined Humber in 1973 in the Department of Academic Studies and has journeyed with this institution through many different organizational changes. Not many people can lay claim to having applied for a job with a lovely handwritten note. Over his many years at Humber, his love for teaching has never wavered which allowed for him to easily state when notifying Humber of his decision to retire that he never considered teaching as work and that retirement for him does not imply that he will no longer be working but simply altering his lifestyle. Thank you Wayne for the passion and energy you have always shown to your students and colleagues.

The Academic Upgrading cluster would like to bid a very fond farewell to Professor Rob Frank who will be retiring this year.
…..

In his own words, Rob summarizes the last 30 years in 30 words (or a little more if you are truly counting). Rob joined Humber in 1983 in the Electronics Department at first the North and then the Queensway campus. He moved to the Academic Upgrading Program and has served as the Program Coordinator in this community based, access program since 1993. Rob is the face of Academic Upgrading at Humber and has seen the program through many changes. His students have greatly benefitted from his down to earth approach to learning and advising and have continued on to be very successful in their various academic and career pursuits thanks to this natural gift.
