Humber will be retiring its legacy academic DropBox service effective December 31.

If you currently use the I-drive to distribute in-class files or collect student work, you are encouraged, going forward, to use the superior functionality contained within Blackboard. 

Blackboard is part of every class at Humber. A consistent, familiar place to retrieve and submit files better supports the learning experience. Blackboard also saves everyone time by simplifying the file distribution and collection processes.

Need help managing assignments in Blackboard? Please consult the following resource, prepared by the Centre of Innovative Learning, for guidance.

Apologies in advance for any inconvenience.

I am delighted to introduce Gabriela Yepez who will be joining Student Wellness and Equitable Learning as our new Associate Director of Mental Health and Counselling Services. Gabriela brings with her over 13 years of leadership experience in healthcare, most recently serving as the Clinical Manager of Outpatient Mental Health and Addiction Programs at Lakeridge Hospital. Her background in change management and quality improvement will undoubtedly elevate our dedication to student support.

When asked about her leadership style, Gabriela emphasized her strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, health equity, team engagement, continuous learning, and quality improvement. She describes herself as an enthusiastic and curious leader, eager to create pathways that provide people with access to the appropriate level of care at the right time. Her leadership philosophy is rooted in transformative leadership, with a focus on inspiring and motivating her team through a shared vision and a commitment to continuous growth and evidence-based care. Her first day will be October 4, 2023.

Please join me in welcoming Gabriela to Humber College.

Dr. Emma Smith has accepted a new role as Associate Dean for the Office of Research and Innovation. Emma’s award-winning contributions to research at Humber and her passions for collaboration, with students and faculty, make her an ideal candidate for this new role.

Emma first joined Humber in 2015 as a Field Placement Coordinator with the Faculty of Social and Community Services (FSCS). In 2018, she became a full-time Faculty member for the Bachelor of Social Science – Criminal Justice degree program, later becoming the Program Coordinator in 2019. In 2023 Emma seconded into the role of Academic Program Manager for FSCS, where she has provided invaluable support to our Social Services Program portfolio.

Emma holds a PhD in Communication and Culture from Toronto Metropolitan University and York University. This summer, she and Dr. Doug Thomson were awarded the Humber President’s Research Award for their work with the Toronto Police Service on the expansion of the Neighbourhood Community Officer Program.

Emma will undoubtedly be missed by all within FSCS, but we are also so excited to see the great work she will do in her new role within ORI.

Please join me in congratulating Emma, as she will be moving to her new role with ORI starting Oct 10th, 2023. The APM position, as well as the FT Faculty position with BSS-CJ, will be posted in the coming days, to ensure continuity of business in the Faculty of Social and Community Services.
