The Transition to Work Committee, under Advising & Career Services, is proud to announce a new scholarship - the Ability in Action Scholarship - which is the first scholarship that has been created for Humber learners with disabilities.

Donated by anonymous donors and friends of the Transition to Work initiative, learners will be asked to download the scholarship application, and answer a short essay question. Applications for this scholarship will be open until October 1, 2025. More information about the scholarship and application. 

Please share widely with your students. We look forward to their applications!

As Humber Polytechnic and the University of Guelph-Humber develop a new Athletics & Recreation strategy, we want to hear from you—whether you're a regular participant or have never engaged with our programming.

Our institutions are committed to fostering a healthy, active, and inclusive campus culture. What would make it easier or more appealing for you to get involved? What’s working well—and what could be better?

Take our short, anonymous survey (approx. 5 minutes or less) by October 10 and help us build a more responsive and inclusive Athletics and Recreation experience for everyone.

We are excited to announce the launch of our new Study Buddy application within Student Learning Services! 

Study Buddy is a program that helps students connect (by course code) in order to study together.

Students are able to visit our platform and create, or join, a study group for any course at Humber and the University of Guelph-Humber. Students will receive an update when others have joined their group, and will also receive contact emails for each group member. Students can leave a group at any point. 

We would appreciate your support in spreading the word. We've included a poster, and some Faculty Slides in case you wish to promote this opportunity within your course.

Why Students Should Consider Study Buddy?

• Finding motivation to study
• Tough course support
• Meeting new classmates
• Building friendships across programs
• Facilitates group tutoring support

If you have any questions, please connect with us at learningservices@humber.ca.
