I am writing to share that Martine Spinks has elected to leave her position of Associate Dean, Design and Built Environment, Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology, in order to scale back and focus on priorities related to her family.
During her time at Humber, Martine made numerous contributions within and beyond FAST. She led several international projects, including the creation of a very successful COIL project. She also initiated international partnerships, providing students and faculty with opportunities to study and engage abroad. Martine was instrumental in growing applied research opportunities in FAST and she championed numerous quality assurance processes. Her commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion was felt in many ways and included a focus on decolonizing the curriculum.
Martine's commitment to students was significant and she made a difference to the student experience by ensuring that students had a voice within FAST.
Martine was known for collaborating across the academic division, creating innovative interdisciplinary opportunities for students, staff and faculty in several programs. She was collegial and shared her ideas and expertise freely.
Martine's passion for higher education was always apparent and I am grateful that she has been a part of the Humber team. I would like to thank her for her many contributions to Humber and for her commitment to our students, staff and faculty.
Her last day at Humber is June 2, please join me in wishing Martine well.
Sincerely,
Gina Antonacci
Senior Vice-President, Academic

From Friday, April 28, 2023 at 3:30 p.m. to Wednesday, May 3, 2023, the Sun Life Plan Member website and mobile app will not be available due to a service interruption and updating of their online systems.
Employees who currently are enrolled in Sun Life benefits will not be able to submit claims electronically and claims will not be processed manually.
As a result, the following will not be available during this timeframe:
- Employees will not have access to the details of their group benefits coverage or claim history on mysunlife.ca or the My Sun Life mobile app.
- Employees will not be able to submit claims online.
- Dental offices and other medical providers will not be able to submit any claims electronically. Once the planned service interruption has been completed, providers can then submit claims electronically.
- Paper claims may still be submitted, however, claims may take longer than usual to process, as paper claims will not be processed during the service interruption.
- The Customer Care Centre will not be able to answer questions about employees’ benefits or claims.
Prescription drug claims processed using the Drug Card will not be affected.
Service to the Sun Life Plan Member website and mobile app will resume on Thursday, May 4, 2023.
