Accessible Learning Services shares some best practice considerations:

  • Higher proportions of younger adults screened positive for depression and anxiety between fall 2020 and spring 2021 

  • A higher proportion of younger adults reported experiencing negative impacts due to the COVID-19 pandemic 

  • Among Canadians who screened positive for at least one disorder, 94% reported being negatively impacted by the pandemic 

Please email us at accessible-learning@humber.ca with suggestions for key accessibility-related topics that you would like us to address through the Communiqué.

On behalf of Information Technology Services (ITS), please be advised that after a recent upgrade, student images will no longer be displayed as part of the class roster (Summary Class List/Detailed Class List) function on MyHumber, as this feature is no longer supported by the software vendor. An analysis is underway to determine a solution to support student photos as part of the class roster function, but until this is complete, student photos cannot be exported.

The Centre for Urban Ecology seen across a pond

If you can’t meet outdoors, enjoy the next best thing – a meeting room with a view. 

Walking meetings on the Humber Arboretum trails are a popular activity for many Humber College and UofGH staff, but they aren’t always a practical choice. For those who would like to bring a little more nature to their sit-down departmental meetings, the upper level of the Centre for Urban Ecology is available for booking on Mondays and Fridays through April, and on Mondays only in May. 

Staff may book the top level of the Centre for Urban Ecology for times falling between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Space will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis at no cost (internal use only). Tables, chairs, and a television that can be connected to a laptop will be provided. Eduroam wi-fi is available inside the Centre; outlets are available but limited. 

Please note that during your meeting time the lower level of the Centre for Urban Ecology may be open to the public and also serves as a gathering spot on Mondays for students from ECE 234: Two-Eyed Land-based Play and Co-Learning. Humber Arboretum staff may be working in the offices on the upper level at any time.  

To inquire about booking the upper level of the Centre for Urban Ecology for your next departmental meeting, please send an email with your requested date and time to arboretum@humber.ca and cc Jimmy Vincent, the Humber Arboretum’s Coordinator of Education, Camps, and Community Outreach, at jimmy.vincent@humber.ca.

There is also the option to book a tour or team building activities with a member of the Humber Arboretum’s educational staff, for an additional fee. 

Learn about more opportunities for staff at Humber Arboretum.

Trevoh Mayoh

This 90-minute workshop aims to increase self- and collective- awareness of how gender norms and social constructs of masculinity can inflict harm on oneself and others. Participants will get equipped with the knowledge and effective strategies to challenge the links between gender-based violence and masculinity.

Upon the completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the process of gender socialization and how gender norms and stereotypes shape the view and attitudes for people of all genders and ages.
  • Be able to challenge unacceptable gender norms and practice that enable sexualized and gender-based violence.
  • Reflect critically on individual and societal ideas of femininity, masculinity and what it means to “be a man” and assess how these ideas contribute to or impede diversity, inclusion, and equity in the college community.
  • Assess opportunities and effective approaches to create healthy and non-violent masculinities, which in turn can lead to more equitable, respectful and non-violent relations in the communities.
  • Increase their empathy for survivors of sexualizedand gender-based violence.
  • Gain knowledge of resources available to those who have been affected by sexual and gender-based violence.

*Please share this opportunity with students and recently graduated alumni.

As part of the upcoming exhibition, Notes for Tomorrow, Humber Galleries is pleased to launch a special iteration of the REACTIVATION Project that explores creation, inspiration, and the changed world a few years into a pandemic. 

In this iteration, Humber Galleries has launched an open call to all Humber College students and alumni, asking applicants to submit creative works that respond to the prompt “How life feels to me after living through two years of a global pandemic”. While previous versions of this project had specific mediums in mind, this one is open to all mediums as long as they can be showcased virtually. Whether students and/or alumni work in fine art, music, digital art, animation, dance, or creative writing (to name just a few), any medium is welcome and encouraged for this call. 

Fifteen artists will be selected to participate. Each will be paired with a different submitted work, which will act as inspiration to create another original work in response. In the end, all participants will have two works included in a virtual gallery, which will be launched in January 2023. 

Requirements:

  • A current Humber College or University of Guelph student from any program; OR 
  • A Humber College or University of Guelph alum within three years of graduation from any program 

Benefits for artists: 

  • Honorarium of $200 per successful artist via an Everything Card   
  • Have two artworks displayed in the Humber Galleries virtual gallery 
  • Co-Curricular Record (CCR) certificate for current students 
  • A great addition to an Artist CV or resume 

How to apply: Complete the application form

Deadline to apply is November 20, 2022.

Image of a press pass

With the fall term well under way, our student journalists are out and about on campus, practicing the journalism skills acquired in the classroom. You may see them filming in various areas around campus and may even be contacted by a student requesting an interview.

As the primary public learning space for our students, Journalism students do not need to seek permission ahead of time to film in most public areas on campus. Journalism is considered non-commercial speech, which means students generally will not ask interview subjects to sign waivers or sign releases when they film in public areas. Humber Journalism students will be easily identifiable by a press pass that will always be carried around their neck while they are filming outside of the classroom. Students will not set up tripods or equipment in areas that will impede the natural flow of traffic in hallways or general use areas.

Journalism students will respect people’s reasonable expectation of privacy – this means they will not film people without permission in an area where they might reasonably expect privacy (such as washrooms, classrooms, through windows of buildings, etc.).

We ask for your support of our students while they use Humber campuses as a learning space. If you have questions, please contact Sarah-Jane Greenway, associate dean, Journalists and Writers (sarahjane.greenway@humber.ca).
