Once again, Humber has proven its national leadership in applied research and industry collaboration, earning three top distinctions in Research Infosource’s annual ranking of Canada's Top 50 Research Colleges.

Humber was recognized in the top position in Canada in the category of “Industry Research Income”, placed second for “Research Partnerships”, and is the top research institution in the GTA for the second year in a row.

These achievements are powered by a diverse portfolio of applied research projects and nearly $11 million in funding. Humber's leadership in industry research income and partnerships highlights a clear path forward: deeper collaboration between post-secondary institutions and the private sector to unlock innovation, drive growth, and prepare a future-ready workforce — critical to solving Canada’s productivity challenge.

A heartfelt thank you to all faculty and staff who have engaged with industry partners on applied research projects. Your dedication and expertise make these accomplishments possible and position Humber as a national leader in research and innovation.

To help us share this exciting news, a new email signature template has been added to the DAM.

On December 2, 2025, the Humber community came together for Humber’s Got Talent — and what an incredible afternoon it was! From music and dance to poetry and art, 12 of Humber’s finest staff and faculty talents lit up the stage at LinX Lounge, all in support of a cause that truly matters — the Humber Student Food Security Fund.

Thanks to your generosity, the event raised over $6,440 for Humber’s Student Food Security Fund far surpassing our goal of $5,000. That means 1,288 food subsidy days for students currently experiencing food insecurity — making it easier for students to thrive academically without worrying about their next meal. 

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without you — whether you attended the show, bid in the silent auction, or donated through Humber Gives, your support made a real impact. 

The Student Food Security Fund provides assistance through $5/day meal subsidies, grocery gift cards, and access to food through the Grab 'n Go Food Bank. Since its launch in Fall 2024, the fund has delivered 3,150 days of food support to students, and thanks to Giving Tuesday, we’re continuing to grow that impact. 

Thank you, Humber community for showing your talent, your heart, and your commitment to our students.
