Dear Humber,

Further to its launch in November, Humber’s BRING IT recruitment campaign continued to roll out in December and January.

Targeted to domestic direct students, the goal of the bold and motivational campaign is to increase applications and enrolment to Humber and spur awareness and interest in the college. 

The advertising campaign is in market in many formats including online, on apps, on social media, on digital billboards, in transit stations, buses and subways, and in movie theatres. 

Earlier this week, vinyl murals reflective of the Bring It creative created by Ben Johnston were installed at North and Lakeshore campus (see photos above). In the spring, Johnston will install an outdoor mural at the Lakeshore Campus. 

With more than 1,000 assets in the field and more than 5.4 million impressions to date, initial campaign results show that we are exceeding post-secondary benchmarks across many categories. TikTok and Google search are the top performing platforms so far.

We will continue to update about the Bring It campaign throughout the winter term. Please contact me directly (by Teams or email) if there are any questions.

Thank you,

Andrew Leopold
Director, Marketing and Communications

Background

Humber is committed to continuous quality improvement and engaging students in this process. At the end of January, the College will administer the online ‘Ontario Colleges Student Experience Survey’ (OCSES) that has replaced the previous ministry KPI Student Satisfaction survey. This survey will measure student experiences related to teaching and learning quality, program related knowledge and skills, work integrated learning (if applicable), and student services and resources. The results of the survey will allow the college to identify strengths and areas of improvement.

Administration

All students in full-time, funded programming enrolled in semesters 2 to 8 will receive a personal survey link on Monday, January 30. The survey will remain open until Friday, February 17 at midnight. Key messaging will be communicated to students by Humber to promote the survey and encourage completion. In order to achieve an optimal response to this survey, facilitators/instructors will be present in classes selected by the Faculties to explain the purpose of the survey to students, provide direction for survey completion and allot class time to complete the survey (approximately 10-15 minutes).

For questions about the survey, please contact Jean O’Donnell at jean.o’donnell@humber.ca.
