Through the HSPP Partnership, Humber and Seneca College have collaborated to develop an educational Phishing Awareness Game. With a focus on strategies for identifying malicious emails, players must correctly identify phishing emails in a virtual work environment.

In addition to providing our two communities with an entertaining learning experience, the game will also include a Humber Vs. Seneca scoreboard which will allow for friendly competition. So let's show Seneca's Sammy Sting just how powerful the Humber Hawk’s community is.

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

In addition to the game, Humber ITS also delivered training materials to all employees for Week 4: Families and Businesses

To get started, please go to knowbe4.com to do your training.

What is the HSPP Partnership?

The Humber-Seneca Polytechnic Partnership (HSPP) was created to promote cooperation between institutions and enhance and expand learning opportunities as students begin, continue, or complete their postsecondary education. Leveraging the combined resources of Humber and Seneca, the HSPP also seeks to support collaborative activity rather than competition across institutions.

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 training material - the more you participate, the more entries you can earn. During the final week, a grand prize will be drawn, and the raffle entries you have accumulated throughout the month will be eligible.

This month we are putting the Sustainability Spotlight on Julian Klimczyk.

Before working as a Digital Content Creator in the Government Relations, Marketing and Communications department at Humber College, Julian Klimczyk was a student in the University of Guelph-Humber's Media Studies Program.

Julian’s passion for visual media and sustainability unite successfully in his role.

“I try my best, where possible to integrate our values of sustainability into our work on social media,” stated Julian. “First is keeping a lens of sustainability on all the posts that we draft; this means always including sustainable opportunities for our students and reminding them of how they can get involved. The arboretum, public transit and all the awesome events and initiatives created by our sustainability team are always top of mind as places to promote and support on campus.” 

One of Humber’s priorities in the 2018-2023 Humber Strategic Plan is to be a “national leader in developing sustainable campuses”. Through employees such as Julian, who are embedding sustainability into their role, we are one step closer to this goal.
