The Faculty of Media & Creative Arts asks you to join us in congratulating Robert Richardson on his upcoming retirement. He has almost 20 years of service at Humber.

Bob, as he is affectionately known, is a true Humber success story. Starting at Humber as a student in the Film & TV Production advanced diploma, launching a second career, he balanced his studies with a workstudy position, graduating with honours and top of the class, followed by a part-time role, full-time support staff position, full-time professor, program coordinator, and finally, Associate Dean. Bob has excelled in all of his roles and has made many valuable contributions to the Faculty of Media & Creative Arts and the broader Humber community.

Bob is a kind, generous, and fair leader who always took the time to listen and check in with you. His love of history, literature, films, and even farming made conversations more interesting. As an early riser, we often joked that Bob “opened up” the Lakeshore Campus, when on many occasions, he would arrive before Public Safety had a chance to open up the doors to the building.

Bob’s last day at Humber will be March 1. Please join me in wishing Bob the very best of luck in this next chapter of life.
