View in full page
When:
October 11, 2022

As part of #CyberMonth2022, the HSPP REEL Big Phishing Trainer game returns for a second season. Once again, through the Humber-Seneca Polytechnic Partnership (HSPP), our colleges have collaborated to develop an interactive awareness game. This season of the game reinforces our learning objectives of the previous season, identifying phishing emails through red flags that are commonly seen in phishing attempts. In addition to identifying phishing emails, additional security best practices have been incorporated to exercise your overall security awareness.

In addition to being fun, interactive, and a great learning experience, the game also features a Humber Vs. Seneca leaderboard, which will allow for friendly competition. You will have the opportunity to play the game as many times as you would like, improving your score and increasing Humber's chances of being this years’ winner.

Our colleagues at Seneca were the victors of season 1, we hope that Humber's competitive spirit will see our community be victorious this season.

To get started, please go to husencollege.com to play the game today!

Finally, and most importantly, win prizes!

As a small token of our appreciation of your continued support of our cybersecurity initiatives, weekly raffles prizes will be made available. You can earn raffle entries each week for completing and participating in the game and our other initiatives - the more you participate, the more entries you can earn. During the final week, a grand prize will be drawn, and all your accumulated raffle entries you have accumulated throughout the month will be eligible.

Note: Please play the game to enter this week’s raffle draw and also a chance to win the grand prize.

Update Regarding University of Guelph-Humber
View in full page
When:
October 6, 2022

As members of the Humber community may be aware, the University of Guelph and Humber College have been in discussions with the City of Brampton about the potential relocation of the University of Guelph-Humber to the city’s planned Centre for Innovation.

Earlier today, we, along with University of Guelph, informed City Council of the decision to withdraw from those discussions. Please see below for more information.

Please contact andrew.leopold@humber.ca if there are any specific questions.

To the Humber Community,

Earlier today, the University of Guelph and Humber College informed the City of Brampton of our decision to withdraw from discussions regarding the proposed relocation of the University of Guelph-Humber (UofGH) to Brampton’s planned Centre for Innovation (CFI).

The University of Guelph, Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber will now use this opportunity to continue planning the growth and evolution of Guelph-Humber. Over the coming months we will build on Guelph-Humber's reputation of academic excellence and focus on the student experience, student success, academic quality, and the delivery of programs that meet the needs of the community.

In June 2021, Brampton City Council unanimously supported a motion to have City staff work with the University of Guelph and Humber College on University of Guelph-Humbers’s possible relocation. Shortly thereafter, we began foundational conversations with City staff. These discussions included detailed space analysis and refined requirements for instructional and study spaces. It became apparent that space constraints were a concern, notably that the CFI would not be able to meet University of Guelph-Humber’s current and future needs.

In recent months, attempts to find additional space to deliver a high-quality student experience that meet the standards of Guelph-Humber and its parent institutions have been unsuccessful.

Further, both the timing of the construction, and potential opening, of the planned CFI have yet to be confirmed. Timing is critical for Guelph-Humber, as it enters a new recruitment cycle. Current students and prospects who are considering attending the university in the fall, as well as employees, must have certainty about where they will study and work in the coming years.

We thank Mayor Brown, Council and City staff for their interest in the University of Guelph-Humber. We remain deeply appreciative of our strong ties to Brampton, including students and employees who live in the city, and welcome the opportunity to explore future partnerships with Brampton and the city’s business community.

We will provide updates to the Humber community as we work together on the growth and evolution of the University of Guelph-Humber.

Measuring what matters: Humber research team develops measurements to improve Bluetooth sensor performance

A Humber College research team led by professor Timothy Wong, PhD, Faculty of Applied Sciences & Technology (FAST), successfully proposed and implemented a measurement solution they developed while collaborating with an industry partner.  

The industry partner is a technology innovator and a solution provider in the Internet of Things (IoT) space. The research team has found that since the IoT sensors are ubiquitous, they must meet or exceed their required Bluetooth performance. If they do not, it becomes challenging to troubleshoot problems a human eye cannot see. To prevent such challenges from occurring, the Humber research team proposed looking into the performance of the industry partner’s current set of Bluetooth-enabled IoT modules.  

When their proposal was accepted, the Humber research team tested the Bluetooth sensors provided by the industry partner. The team conducted Bluetooth range tests on various real-life environments with real-life obstructions, generating comprehensive range performance data. They also analyzed the data to fit into range models, which gave insight into what to expect when deploying these sensors into different physical environments.
