During the Fall 2025 Reading Week, Innovative Learning is hosting a Faculty Forum on Generative AI for Humber faculty on October 20 to 21, 2025.
The sessions offered as part of this faculty development forum explore how Generative AI (GenAI) is reshaping our approaches to teaching, learning, and assessment. The goal is to bring together educators to share perspectives, examine current challenges, and consider practical responses to the role of AI in higher education. Participants will engage in discussions and collaborative activities that encourage critical reflection on how AI is influencing classroom practices and assessment design. Please refer to our program schedule below:

Dear Humber Community,
Given the work stoppage happening across Ontario’s 24 public colleges, it does not appear to be feasible to host our planned event – Bonded in Brilliance: Black Kinship, Culture, and Community – on the originally planned timeline. As such, the organizing committee is postponing the event as we work through securing an alternative date.
The drive for this event remains as strong as ever, with growing excitement for the depth of discussion and range of perspectives to be provided through the esteemed panelists and speakers.
We thank you in advance for your patience as we navigate this change.
We will share a new date and time as details are confirmed.
To the Humber Community,
The College Employer Council has posted "Strike Continues after Union Ultimatum" on its site.
Please Note:
The College Employer Council (CEC) is the government mandated bargaining agent for the 24 Ontario publicly funded Colleges that negotiate collective agreements with unionized staff. This information is being distributed on behalf of the CEC.
We recognize that bargaining updates may contain strong language and reflect the perspectives of the parties involved. While the message above is a direct release from the CEC, our goal in sharing it is to keep our community informed of developments that may impact operations and the student experience.
We remain committed to respectful dialogue, transparency, and supporting all members of our campus community during this time. We will continue to provide updates as they become available and encourage everyone to stay informed through official channels.
What You Need to Know
As part of the Finch West Light Rail Transit (LRT) Project, crews will continue to do remedial works for curb, sidewalk, milling, utilities, road, landscaping, and paving at Humber College Boulevard and Hwy 27. Work started January 1, 2025, and will last until approsimately December 31, 2025.
Lane closures between intersections may not occur simultaneously, but in stages, at different times. Consideration will be given to minimize traffic impacts to motorists.
Minor field modifications may occur when needed to complete work safely and minimize impact on the public.
Please take extra care when navigating near work sites, and always make eye contact with the driver before crossing in front of any equipment or vehicle.
Noise and vibration will be monitored when required during these activities.
Work may be rescheduled due to weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances. Notice will be updated as required to reflect any significant traffic staging.
Metrolinx is building a new 11 KM LRT line which will run along Finch Avenue West from Keele Street to Highway 27, where it will turn, then travel south to the Humber College North Campus. The line will feature 18 stops and will bring more transit connections and faster service to Northwest Toronto.
