Each year, we celebrate International Women's Day with talented and empowered alumnae who are forging a path for Humber students and future generations following in their footsteps. This day marks the social, economic, cultural and political accomplishments of women globally, and in 2022, five excellent role models shared their thoughts:

Jacqueline Edwards, Law and Security Administration, 1994
Wendy Cyrus-Herdon, Journalism, 1997
Shana King, Fashion Arts, 2000
Tae Hislop, Creative Photography, 2000
Melanie Ng, Public Relations Certificate, 2006

See what more alumnae had to say by visiting our International Women's Day site.

Humber Galleries is excited to announce its participation in this year’s CONTACT Photography Festival. Open to all Humber College and University of Guelph-Humber students, faculty, staff, and alumni, artists are welcome to include photography submissions as part of a themed exhibition called How to Remember for the Future.   

This exhibition will explore the documentation of unexpected experiences that affect memories of a certain time and place. As an artist, what does it mean to create with intention in a world whose priorities and environments may no longer be predictable nor sustainable? After observing local and global events, and balancing issues such as gender politics, IBPoC representation, climate change, and public protests, how do artists adapt? And to what extent can these present-day experiences shape their future?  

Submissions must be photographic or lens-based but can incorporate other art forms within a photographic medium (ex: collage, archival, painting, literature etc). They can be singular images, as well as triptychs or diptychs. Colour and/or black & white images are welcome.  

Applications are due Sunday, April 3, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. EST via an online application form

For more information about the art call and its requirements, please visit Humber Galleries online.

As the Russian regime’s invasion of Ukraine continues, Humber has been working closely with the Ukrainian Students Club and Ukrainian employees, along with Russian students, to identify and implement supports for those in our community who are impacted.  

Here are some of the ways in which we are providing support: 

  • A Ukrainian Students and Community Meeting to be held on Thursday, March 10 at 10 a.m. at Lakeshore Campus in G Commons. Details will be shared soon.

  • The Humber website has a dedicated page for students impacted by the war which includes a list of counseling and mental health services, available in Ukrainian.

  • A dedicated form for students to connect to Humber resources supported by case managers in Student Affairs.

  • Academic accommodation for impacted students who are unable to return to campus in the Winter term for in-person studies because of the invasion.

  • An elimination of any fees owed to Humber in the current term for registered students. Those fees will be paid by bursary funds immediately.

  • A Support our Students fund for students impacted by the invasion has launched. Details were provided in Communiqué last week.

  • Next week is the tuition deposit deadline for the summer term. Some of our currently enrolled Ukrainian and Russian students have plans to study this summer. Impacted students are not required to pay the deposit by the deadline. Also, there will be no penalty for any late deposit payment. This week we will announce the details of our tuition relief program for impacted students studying in the summer session. The announcement will also include information on a bursary program above the tuition relief program to support living expenses of the impacted students.

  • We will be working on plans to provide similar relief in the fall term for impacted students before fall registration opens.

  • Students living in residence who have a Ukrainian or Russian home address or emergency contact will not be required to move out on April 25. Additional solutions are being explored and will be shared as they are finalized. These students will receive follow up communications this week.

  • A dinner was held for international Ukrainian students living in residence last week. Program Coordinators and faculty members attended as well and students were able to eat Ukrainian home cooked food and sing Ukrainian songs.

  • Students can contact the Student Wellness and Accessibility Centre for support. Same and next-day services may be available for both in-person and virtual appointments. 

As a reminder, Humber also provides connections to external support, including: 

  • LifeWorks Community Crisis Support Line: The Community Crisis Support Line is open 24/7 and can be reached in Canada at 1-844-751-2133. Individuals will receive professional emotional support and/or referral to community resources. This resource is available to anyone and everyone. 

  • Good2Talk (1-866-925-5454) is a 24-hour mental health support for Post-Secondary Students in Ontario 

  • Mental health support is available in 60 languages, including Ukrainian and Russian. To use the service, please call the International Student Helpline (KeepMeSafe): 1-844-451-9700 

  • Therapy Assist Online   

  • Staff may also access Employee Assistance Plan services. 

  • ConnexOntario: 1-866-531-2600 

Several departments are also working on supports for employees impacted by the invasion. Details will be shared as soon as they are confirmed. 

We are grateful for the insights and for those who have shared their lived experiences with us over the past week.

Dear Humber employees,

As a reminder, to provide certainty to students and employees, Humber, along with the other 23 Ontario colleges, is maintaining a COVID-19 Vaccination Policy for the remainder of the Winter 2022 term. 

In a March 1, 2022 memo to the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health expressed his support for post-secondary institutions choosing to maintain COVID-19 vaccination policies for the remainder of the term and on an ongoing basis.  

The Provincial Enhanced Vaccine Certificate (QR Code) is the ONLY accepted proof of vaccination. Upload your QR code to the Humber Guardian app or have it and your ID ready to show at the door. 

Approved exemptions along with proof of a negative COVID-19 test result from the previous 72 hours are also still accepted.

We will be reviewing plans for the Summer 2022 term this month and will communicate any policy changes for it and future terms to the Humber community.
