Another convocation is now in the history books. Thank you to everyone associated with the delivery of the convocation ceremonies last week. A few stats to put the week in perspective: 10 ceremonies, 8,449 total graduates, 5,123 graduates crossed the stage, and approximately 28,000 guests in attendance over four days.
Convocation is the celebration which required all of our efforts and hard work. We were able to create a celebration where memories were made and student success was recognized. I would also like to thank the volunteers who supported us. you shelved your regular work to come out support the Registration Office during these events and for that I am grateful.
I am not the only one who witnesses the efforts (and magic!) during the event. Below is one of the emails I received that I believe truly summarizes our efforts:
“My thanks also to the Registrar’s Office convocation team, for their consistently incredible job orchestrating and managing this week of large scale, complex events, with three ceremonies per day, involving thousands of grads and their family members, and hundreds of Humber staff, volunteers, and important stakeholders. All your work is recognized and truly appreciated”.
I would like to extend a special thank-you to the team who worked closest with me from the beginning to the end of every long day. Thank you for all the moments of crazy, jokes and all the new stories we added to the Convocation Chronicles.
Together we made the celebration a lasting memory in the minds of thousands of graduates and guests. Collectively, we worked together as a team and did an outstanding job.
I hope everyone was able to relax and catch up on some well-deserved rest over the past weekend. In case anyone was wondering, our next Convocation is November 2-3!
THANK YOU!
Rhonda Harrison
Chair, Convocation

On Monday, June 12, 2023, the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences (FLAS) hosted the Forward Together Symposium, a day-long event aimed at fostering collaboration, sharing innovative ideas, and advancing equity and inclusion within the Faculty. The symposium featured a diverse program of breakout sessions and panel discussions, covering a wide range of topics relevant to teaching and learning in today's ever-changing world.
In the plenary session that set the tone for the day, John Stilla, FLAS Senior Dean, emphasized the importance of creating an inclusive, equitable and collaborative working and learning environment for employees and students and discussed strategies to move “Forward Together”.
Throughout the day, attendees had the opportunity to attend breakout sessions led by faculty members from various disciplines. These sessions covered a wide range of topics, including rethinking grading practices and essay writing in an equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) framework, implementing Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles in essays and long writing assignments, and nurturing a culture of academic integrity in the classroom.
Other sessions focused on decolonizing pedagogical approaches, integrating equity, diversity, and inclusion into curriculum and pedagogy, and creating more seats at the table through justice-based equity work. Presenters shared their research, experiences, and best practices, providing valuable insights for their colleagues.
The FLAS team is proud to present the following guiding principles that will shape its working and learning environment:
The FLAS Forward Together Symposium proved to be a valuable platform for faculty and staff members to learn together, share their expertise, and support one other. By moving forward together, the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences is forging new paths in providing a quality liberal arts and sciences education for all students and fostering a sense of belonging and connectedness within the FLAS community.

Join us in welcoming the Friendlier reusable container program to the North Campus!
As of June 19, 2023, blue Friendlier containers will replace green O2GO containers.
Friendlier has been active at the Lakeshore campus since Fall 2022 and has proven to be an effective and user-friendly solution for the Humber community. Welcoming Friendlier at North will assist Humber in its commitment to reduce waste on campus while aligning with the federal government’s ban on single-use plastics. Over 250,00 plastic food containers have avoided landfill since the launch of #ReuseHumber, the initiative supporting reusable container programs on campus.
How it works:
Starting June 19, all meals at Street Café and the Staff Lounge will be served in Friendlier containers, and in the coming fall term, Friendlier will be available at a wider range of food service locations.
If you have any questions about reusable container program transition, email diningplan@humber.ca.
