For the past couple of years, Kerry Johnston (he/him), program coordinator of Humber’s Sustainable Energy and Building Technology program, has been a part of numerous sustainability-related initiatives at Humber. Since 2017, Kerry has continued to support Humber’s International Development Institute (IDI) on a solar curriculum development project in Kenya. In addition, Kerry is a part of the Sustainability Faculty Champions Committee and is an executive member of College Council.

Kerry entered his teaching career hopeful that sustainability could be a great model to connect ideas that were previously siloed since he felt a real focus on systems thinking was something missing from the student learning experience.

When asked why sustainability is important to him, Kerry says, “I was at the tail end of the generation that grew up in a time when we really didn’t think very much about the cost, availability or environmental impact of energy use. My work in the land development industry and my growing interest in protecting and enhancing the natural environment really led to the desire to be involved in this area.”
