Student feedback Questionnaires are fast approaching! The Student Feedback Questionnaire (SFQ) invites students to provide anonymous feedback on their learning experience in each course every semester. This initiative supports our shared commitment to ensuring the quality of academic programs at Humber. Student feedback is anonymous and confidential, and it is not used for instructor employment negotiations.

SFQ dates are dependent on the length of a course, opening to students about 70 per cent of the way through the class and closing before the last week of classes. You can find the dates for a specific course using the SFQ Date Tool, but generally, for 14-week courses, SFQs will occur between weeks 10 to 13. This means that for the Summer 2025 semester, the start date is July 19, 2025 and the end date is August 10, 2025.

A week before the SFQ date in their course, the instructor will receive an email reminding them to add up to 3 personalized questions to the SFQ that will go to their students. Instructors and students will receive reminders that the SFQs are available via email and the messaging tool in Blackboard when the SFQ is available in your course(s).

The SFQ contest is now open for students! As a way to encourage student submission of their SFQs, students who complete the SFQ will enter into a draw for prizes, including 1 of 10 $25 gift cards! The draw will take place on June 16, 2025, and the contest closes on August 27, 2025.

As a thank you, when more than 50 per cent of the students in a faculty member's course complete the SFQ, the faculty member is automatically entered into a raffle for an on-campus food services gift card, or service at the Humber room.

Please watch Communiqué for SFQ updates. Need additional help? Contact us in the Innovative Learning Support Centre!

Please note that the men's washroom on the second floor of the Annex building (room AN203) will be closed from Wednesday, June 25 until Monday, September 1.

View attached plan for available washrooms during the closure.

Thank you.

After 15 years of exceptional service, Margaret Fung, our long serving and extraordinarily dedicated Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Manager is retiring at the end of the month. While we will miss her greatly, we are thrilled for Margaret as she embarks on this exciting new chapter. Since joining us in 2010, her leadership has shaped a safer, more resilient workplace that the rest of us have benefited from.  Margaret’s impact can be seen throughout our campuses as she led countless staff safety initiatives, modernized our health and safety program and recruited and mentored numerous health and safety professionals. Margaret provided Humber with outstanding guidance and steady leadership throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic, all in the midst of uncertainty and ever-changing public health restrictions.  

Her achievements also extend beyond Humber. During her tenure with us, Margaret was the 2011 winner of the Hugh Nelson Award of Excellence in Occupational Hygiene. This is an annual award presented to an individual who has worked or is working as an occupational hygiene professional in a full-time capacity. She was also a past president of the Occupational Hygiene Association of Ontario as well as the Canadian Registration Board of Occupational Hygienists and contributed to the growth of the field in the province and nationally.  

Margaret’s last day at Humber will be June 27, 2025. Please join me in congratulating Margaret on her retirement and in thanking her for her service to Humber. Humber is a safer workplace thanks to Margaret’s many efforts.
