The President’s Awards are a proud tradition of recognizing excellence among Humber and University of Guelph-Humber faculty and staff. The call for nominations for the 2025 President’s Awards is now open.
Humber and University of Guelph-Humber have had many extraordinary achievements over the past year and employees who have contributed above and beyond should be recognized and honoured. Please consider the award categories and nominate employees who have consistently demonstrated outstanding work and support for Humber’s core values, goals, and/or innovation; or who repeatedly enhance Humber's reputation through their outstanding service delivery.

Now, at around the second and third week of the semester, it is crucial to reach out to students to ensure that they are staying engaged in your course. If students aren't logging into Blackboard and are missing deadlines, these students may be at risk, and we have an opportunity to help them.
There are two main ways for instructors (with the 'Instructor' role in a Blackboard Ultra Course) to access data about a student's progression, including their login and deadline adherence information through a Blackboard Ultra Course:
The Course Activity Report is easily accessible for instructors. This report provides insights into student engagement and performance within the course. This report will allow you to:
You can learn more about Tracking Student Progress using the Course Activity Report, or you can find more detailed information about these reports from Anthology's Blackboard Help website.
In addition to the Course Activity Report, instructors also have access to the Student Activity Details Report. This report offers a more individualized view of student activities, allowing you to:
Learn how to access the Student Activity Details Report by following this step-by-step guide.
Find more detailed information about these reports from Anthology's Blackboard Help website.
If you notice that a student has not been active in your course for over 10-15 days, or has missed two or more deadlines, consider reaching out to them using the following message:
“Hello! I am your instructor, (your name here), and I wanted to reach out to you because you haven’t been in Blackboard in some time and engaging on Blackboard and in class is vital to your academic success." If you need to learn more about Blackboard, consider playing Blackboard Quest. It’s a gamified learning experience to help you learn how to navigate through Blackboard; it will only take about 30 minutes to one hour. I also recognize that there are a lot of external factors that can make engaging with course content difficult. There are a lot of supports out there:
If you’re looking for learning support:
If you’re looking for financial supports and resources:
If you’re looking for support with housing:
If you’re unsafe and/or feeling unsafe:
If you’re looking for support with your health and well-being (including mental health):
If you’re looking for support with an disability related academic accommodation:
If you’re looking for support for Indigenous Education:
These and all other student supports, services, and community information can be found at www.wegotyou.humber.ca.
Need additional support? The Innovative Learning Support Centre is here to help.
The Centre for Innovation in Health & Wellness (CIHW) is a leader of change in community health and wellness with a focus on bold and innovative thinking to support a healthier tomorrow for all.

We invite faculty from all programs and Faculties to work with us in the upcoming academic year for capstones, course assignments, hackathons, and more. Connect with us by emailing nicole.tonus-conti@humber.ca.
Effective Wednesday, May 21, 2025 and until the end of day May 28, 2025, the North Campus main shipping and receiving courtyard will only accept deliveries coming on trucks with tailgates.

In Winter 2026, the Creative Technologies post-graduate program has a module on Innovative/Technology Leadership. Within that module there is an assignment where students are paired up and will be required to facilitate a 1-3 hours emerging technology workshop under the supervision of CTEC faculty. We are excited to be collaborating with Humber's Innovative Learning Department on this initiative.
Over the past few years faculty and students from Interaction Design Cluster have facilitated workshops across almost all Faculties at Humber, from UX & App Design, to Virtual Fashion, Baking + 3D modeling, to UX + Spatial tech, Grief Closure and Virtual Humans, and many other areas.
With the rapid increase in usage of emerging technologies (AI, VR, AR, Simulations, motion capture, projection mapping, 3D scanning, 3D printing, laser cutting, Drones, IoT, etc), and their affects on every industry and profession over the past year or two, we'd like to offer the ability for our creative tech-experienced students to collaborate and run workshops for programs across Humber as a way to increase emerging tech literacy across the institution.
Here is how it would work:
Priority will be given to programs that CTEC/ FMCAD Interaction Design Cluster hasn't collaborated with before.
Here are a few past and potential workshop areas to give you an idea of what could be possible, these are just suggestions/thought starters, but we are looking to collaborate with programs to deliver the best subject matter workshop possible:
Again, above are just some quick thoughts I had, but for programs who are interested, once we connect we can brainstorm together.
If you are interested, please contact David Neumann at david.neumann@humber.ca.
We have been informed that Canada Post workers will be on strike as of Friday, May 23, 2025, unless they reach a negotiated agreement with their employer. As such, Humber Mailroom teams at both campuses would like to inform you that mail and parcels will not be delivered by Canada Post for the duration of the strike. Parcels and important documents can however be delivered using UPS, Humber's preferred courier vendor. Incoming deliveries by other companies will be processed and delivered with no changes.
