Dr. Emma Smith has accepted a new role as Associate Dean for the Office of Research and Innovation. Emma’s award-winning contributions to research at Humber and her passions for collaboration, with students and faculty, make her an ideal candidate for this new role.

Emma first joined Humber in 2015 as a Field Placement Coordinator with the Faculty of Social and Community Services (FSCS). In 2018, she became a full-time Faculty member for the Bachelor of Social Science – Criminal Justice degree program, later becoming the Program Coordinator in 2019. In 2023 Emma seconded into the role of Academic Program Manager for FSCS, where she has provided invaluable support to our Social Services Program portfolio.

Emma holds a PhD in Communication and Culture from Toronto Metropolitan University and York University. This summer, she and Dr. Doug Thomson were awarded the Humber President’s Research Award for their work with the Toronto Police Service on the expansion of the Neighbourhood Community Officer Program.

Emma will undoubtedly be missed by all within FSCS, but we are also so excited to see the great work she will do in her new role within ORI.

Please join me in congratulating Emma, as she will be moving to her new role with ORI starting Oct 10th, 2023. The APM position, as well as the FT Faculty position with BSS-CJ, will be posted in the coming days, to ensure continuity of business in the Faculty of Social and Community Services.

Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber are committed to the principles of human rights, equity, inclusion and belonging. Last weekend, September 15-17, and this coming Sunday and Monday, September 24-25 marks Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, respectively. Rosh Hashanah is the Jewish New Year and Yom Kippur is the Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar. Together, they are known as the Jewish High Holidays. Rosh Hashanah celebrations are noted by eating apples and honey to wish the community a sweet and healthy New Year, and the blowing of the Shofar, a ram’s horn, to signify when the Jewish people received the Torah. Yom Kippur is a day of fasting, prayer, reflection and forgiveness with members of the Jewish community asking to be inscribed into the Book of Life.

Many Humber students, faculty and staff will be participating in Yom Kippur along with Jewish people around the world. 

The Humber community is encouraged to learn more about the High Holidays. 

Please be mindful that students, faculty and staff may require accommodations such as time off or extensions to participate in Yom Kippur. If you have questions regarding the duty to accommodate based on religion, please contact Jason Seright, vice-president, Inclusion and Belonging, at jason.seright@humber.ca. 

On behalf of the Inclusion and Belonging portfolio, People(s) and Culture, and Student Success & Engagement, we wish the members of the Jewish community a sweet New Year and all the best on Yom Kippur.
