Whether you're a fan of the Toronto Raptors, love basketball or appreciate good storytelling, you'll enjoy our latest #MyHumberStory video.

Eric Smith is a Burlington Sports Hall of Fame inductee whose familiar face and voice have become synonymous with basketball in Canada.

The Humber Journalism grad grew up with an undeniable passion for the sport and today, he gets to share that passion while entertaining listeners with his skillful play-by-play on Sportsnet 590 the FAN and more broadly as a sportscaster.

Humber helped Eric fine-tune his craft and a talent that he combines with an incredible work ethic. He now holds one of few positions of its kind and had the privilege of calling one of the country's most historic sports moments.

It's a badge he wears with pride and a journey that we're excited to share.

If you know an alumni with an impactful story to tell, we'd love to hear from you. Email us at alumni@humber.ca.

Humber has identified as its Strategic Priority #7 under Pillar #3, Healthy and Inclusive Community, to continue to build a diverse and inclusive community of exceptional students, faculty, and staff. The specific supporting action is to establish and implement an institutional framework and strategy for equity, diversity and inclusion that addresses the needs of both students and employees. 

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) bring together employees who share a common identity, characteristic and set of interests. They create a culture of inclusion that enhances employee engagement and further supports organizations’ vision and values.  

The Black/African ERG was launched in September 2020 and is one of two ERGs that Humber College currently offers for all eligible staff and faculty. (Source: Catalyst) 

Humber employees who identify as Black/African and are interested in joining the ERG are invited to send an email to the co-leads, Shernett Bennett at shernett.bennett@humber.ca or Lola Nelson lola.nelson@humber.ca.

Humber to Conduct Full-Time Academic Faculty Inclusive Hiring Initiative
View in full page
When:
November 11, 2022

Humber College is committed to building a diverse and inclusive community of exceptional students, faculty, and staff. We recognize that excellence in teaching, learning, and applied research is achieved when the diverse voices, knowledge, and lived experiences of our local, national, and global communities are included in Humber’s faculty body. As one strategy to fulfill these commitments to excellence is achieved through diversity and inclusion, Humber is engaging in a hiring initiative focused on increasing representation of Indigenous and Black full-time faculty members within the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences (FLAS).

This inclusive hiring initiative aligns with Humber’s Employment Equity program, work completed by the EDI Taskforce and with the college’s Indigenous Education Plan. This hiring approach also meets the requirements of special programs under the Ontario Human Rights Code.

These hirings include three full-time professor positions open specifically to individuals who identify as Black/African, and three full-time professor positions open specifically to individuals who identify as Indigenous. All positions are posted on the Humber website and will be distributed to various targeted job posting sites.

This is an important initiative for and supported by Humber. Liberal Arts & Sciences faculty members have advocated for an inclusive hiring strategy in recognition of the importance of all students seeing themselves represented in their faculty and in a learning environment that is rich with diverse perspectives, expertise, and lived experiences.

Visit the Inclusive Hiring Initiative web page for more information.
