As announced a short time ago, Christina Alcena has moved from the Manager, Equity and Student Life position, to fill Melanie Chai’s vacancy as the Interim Associate Director, Advising and Career Services until November, 2022. We have completed our interview process and I am excited to announce that Kimberly Daniels will be our Interim Manager, Equity and Student Life.
Kimberly has been at Humber for over 14 years. She began as a student at UGH earning her Honours Bachelor Degree of Applied Arts in Media Studies with a Diploma in Public Relations. She began her career at Humber with IGNITE, and recently moved to SSE with roles as a Career Resource Developer and her current position (until June 4) as the Orientation and Student Life Programs Coordinator. Kimberly was responsible for taking Humber’s Orientation program fully online after a grand total of about two weeks on the job. Over the last year she has collaborated with staff, faculty and students to create an innovative, effective and vital orientation program that helps support students in their transition to life at Humber.
Kimberly has been active in advancing equity and inclusion initiatives at Humber as a member of the Black/African Employee Resource Group and the Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Taskforce. She has also worked to embed equity practices within Orientation – and Student Life, through trainings, collaborations and inclusive content creation. She continues to advance these goals by completing a certification as a Culturally Inclusive Educator along with an Honours Certification in Teaching and Training Adults.
Kimberly brings her skills as communicator, collaborator and community builder to this position. She is passionate in her approach to supporting students and ensuring we are examining and addressing where we need to act on issues of equity and inclusion.
Please join me in congratulating Kimberly and welcoming her to the role.
