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.

Please review these important points about the Summer 2025 Student Feedback Questionnaires (SFQs):

  • Some students are unaware of what a Student Feedback Questionnaire is and how it functions. To support students who may be unfamiliar with Student Feedback Questionnaires (SFQs) or unsure about their purpose, consider sharing this helpful video with them before they complete the SFQ: Your Voice Matters - Understanding the Student Feedback Questionnaire.
  • You can include the above video link as part of an announcement on Blackboard once the SFQ is available in your course, or you can schedule 20 minutes of in-class time. Including information about the SFQ in your course ensures students understand the importance and intent of the SFQ process, and provides them with time to reflect on the feedback they would like to provide.
  • Also consider sharing an example of how SFQ feedback, or other kinds of feedback, have helped improve course content over time, as an example for students of what to provide feedback on; this also shows students that their voices are heard.
  • Instructors are also strongly encouraged to enable the SFQ in Blackboard. Students will be able to complete the SFQ through a link sent to their emails, but adding the SFQ tool in Blackboard provides additional visibility and accessibility to the SFQ.

As a thank you to faculty, 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.

Learn more about your SFQ dates, troubleshooting, and many other helpful tips and pieces of information for faculty from Innovative Learning's SFQ News webpage.

As part of Humber’s goal to reach net zero emissions by 2029, we’re improving how we collect and track data related to air travel.

To support this, a new requirement has been added to the Emburse expense platform for all flight submissions.

When submitting a flight expense, you’ll now be asked to include:

  • Departure Airport Code
  • Stopover Airport Code(s) (if applicable)
  • Arrival Airport Code
  • Return Flight Airport Code(s) (if different from departure)

This small change helps us more efficiently and accurately track flight-related emissions as part of Humber’s annual greenhouse gas inventory. The better our data, the better we can measure progress toward our sustainability targets.

Thank you for supporting this improvement and contributing to Humber’s commitment to sustainability.

If you have any questions about this update, please contact Sandra Leutri, Sustainability Manager, at sandra.leutri@humber.ca.

Global Summer School 2025: A Model of Building Brilliance in Action

The Global Summer School (GSS) 2025 is underway at Humber, bringing together 158 students representing more than 25 nationalities from over 38 academic institutions and around the world. Participants include both Humber and visiting students who are engaging in a fast-tracked, academically rigorous, and globally connected learning experience. 

Students are welcomed with wraparound support and care by Humber’s Global Learning and Engagement team. What sets GSS apart is its unique format: the courses are built on existing Humber courses typically offered over a 15-week semester but repackaged into a 3-week, intensive summer format. This flexible design allows Humber students to earn elective credit quickly while enabling visiting students to access an academic-bearing experience abroad. 

A highlight of the first week was the Creative Thinking: Tools for Success Bootcamp, facilitated by Jennifer Gordon, Director of the Centre for Creative Business Innovation. The bootcamp immersed students in hands-on learning, artistic exploration, team collaboration, and field experiences. It culminated in a student-led showcase that demonstrated how creativity can be a powerful tool for solving real-world problems. 

GSS also offers deep connections with industry and community. This year’s programming includes partnerships with organizations such as the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority and Thomson Reuters, giving students the opportunity to engage with professionals and work on experiential, real-world projects that drive impact. 

GSS 2025 reflects Humber’s Building Brilliance vision across its three strategic pillars: 

  • Pillar 1 – Reimagining Learning: GSS offers immersive, hands-on, and innovative academic experiences. Through its condensed format and experiential design, it provides flexible learning pathways and global perspectives that are directly relevant to today’s challenges. 

  • Pillar 2 – Deeper Partnerships: GSS fosters connections not only at the individual level—between students, faculty, and peers—but also strengthens institutional relationships. The presence of faculty and student delegations from partner institutions supports ongoing academic collaboration and cross-border knowledge exchange. 

  • Pillar 3 – Driving Impact: Through real-world projects, industry engagement, and transferable skills development, students are creating meaningful outcomes that extend beyond the classroom—preparing them to lead and contribute in their communities and careers. 

As GSS 2025 unfolds, it continues to exemplify Humber’s commitment to innovative, partnership-driven, and impactful global education.
