Humber is undertaking a project to expand and modernize the Main KB Kitchen serving the Food Emporium located in KB Building at the North Campus. This project includes expanding the existing Main KB Kitchen into the adjacent event/meeting spaces currently known as Seventh Semester. The construction has now been awarded to Area Construction Inc. meaning all affected areas will be closed effective immediately. 

Seventh Semester will be closed permanently and the space will now form part of the Main KB Kitchen. A new Event Conference Centre is under construction on the 5th floor of the BCTI building.

The new combined Main KB Kitchen space will include updated cooking facilities, a new cold kitchen, gluten-free food production, dishwashing facilities, fridges and freezers, staff offices, storage rooms, a loading area to the outside, and much more. A significant component of this project is the major upgrade and modernization of the mechanical system equipment serving the Kitchen and Food Emporium. As part of a separate project, the Doris Talon Room in this area is also closed permanently and is being reconstructed in another location.

At Humber and the Office of Research & Innovation (ORI), we are proud to support seasoned and emerging researchers who leave no stone unturned in their pursuance of insights, observations, and enthusiasm to positively impact change through the research projects they are leading. When we interact with the principal investigators of these projects, a common fact across the board is their appreciation and acknowledgement of the contributions of Research Assistants that work closely with them, beside them, supporting them along the journey of research.  

Today, we highlight two of our rock star research assistants who participated in a project led by Professor Mark Stoiko to find digital solutions to processes at NTN Corp. Ltd.

In your role at Humber/University of Guelph-Humber, have you encountered students who are struggling with:

  • Mental health concerns
  • Housing instability
  • Financial challenges
  • Food insecurity
  • Violence (domestic violence, sexual violence, etc.)
  • Recently impacted by a tragic circumstance...

...and whose well-being and academic success are being impacted as a result? Did you know that they can seek ongoing support from the Student Support and Intervention Coordinators (SSICs) on campus?

SSICs work with students and offer ongoing support, guidance, and advocacy by connecting them with supports and services on campus and within the community. They work with students in accessing supports, navigating resources, and various policies and procedures at the College. Their goal is to support a student's overall well-being and academic success.

SSICs also receive disclosures of sexual violence. Through a trauma informed, survivor centric, anti-oppressive lens, they inform survivors on wellness supports, reporting options, mental health supports, etc. Their goal is to ensure survivors feel supported, so that they can focus on their wellness and recovery while remaining successful in their academic pursuits.

If you’ve come across a potentially concerning situation and would benefit from some guidance, please reach out to the team at SICsupport@humber.ca.

The SSICs are also available to present more info to your team on how to support students in complex situations. Please send any requests via email at SICsupport@humber.ca.

The conference theme encourages presenters to reflect on our individual and collective response to adapting teaching practices, methodologies and priorities since the start of the pandemic.

Presenters are encouraged to share experiences around key insights they've had in teaching and learning, and strategies on ways they've created authentic and meaningful experiences for all learners. We invite faculty, teaching practitioners, and educational professionals within post-secondary to submit a proposal for either a presentation or panel discussion.

Proposals will be reviewed based on the following criteria:

  • relevance of proposal to the conference theme
  • topic related to current practices in teaching and learning
  • clarity of session objectives
  • clear plan on how attendees will be engaged
  • overall clarity of proposal

Want to submit a proposal?

Presentations should be engaging and interactive. Those selected will be notified by March 1 and sessions will be highlighted in the conference program and website. Fill in the brief form directly on the PTTC website.
