After a long hiatus, Student Recruitment is happy to be resuming in-person campus tours, starting the week of Monday, October 25. Guests will be able to register up to two weeks in advance. It should be noted that the schedule is currently operating on a limited schedule with smaller tour sizes.

Registered guests joining will need to have downloaded the Humber Guardian App to complete the self-assessment, as well as show proof of vaccination to security before attending the tour. At this time, we cannot accommodate walk-ins or additional guests.

More details, as well as the tour calendar and virtual tour resources can be found at humber.ca/tours. Moving into November we hope to begin offering additional times, as our Student Ambassador team expands and completes necessary training.

If anyone has any questions or tour enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact student.recruitment@humber.ca.

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 3: Working and Networking

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 all your accumulated raffle entries you have accumulated throughout the month will be eligible.

Demystifying Innovation Podcast banner with two lightbulbs

On the sixth episode of Demystifying Innovation, we talk to Derek Stockley, associate vice president, Academic.

According to Derek, in order to foster a culture of innovation, senior leadership needs to take a central role. Leaders need to intentionally create the space for their teams to fail, have setbacks and push forward through them. What did Derek do when, as a family therapist, he implemented an innovative idea that didn't quite hit the mark? Tune in to find out!

Listen to Demystifying Innovation on Apple PodcastSpotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

I am pleased to announce that Todd Le Blanc will be joining the International Graduate School team on November 1 as an Associate Director, IGS Student Experience. Todd returns to Humber after five years at the University of Toronto in increasingly senior roles including Assistant Dean, Student Life and Leadership at New College and most recently Assistant Director First Year Student Success and Transition for the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering. At Humber, Todd was the Study Abroad Coordinator for the Faculty of Media and Creative Arts and a First Year Transition Program Facilitator working with the Student Life and Learning team, leaving a lasting impression and impact on the areas in which he worked.

Todd is a committed student affairs professional and an educator. A certified teacher with a BA in history and a graduate diploma in education and currently working on a certificate in Learning Design from University of Toronto, Todd is a committed life-long learner. A member of NODA: the Association for Orientation, Transition and Retention, and a qualified administrator of the Intercultural Development Inventory, Todd brings to this role professionalism and a wealth of knowledge and experience enabling him to build an engagement and success program tailored to the needs of the IGS learner.

In his role as Assistant Dean at New College, Todd led programming for over 6,400 students, more than 50% of whom were international, developing programming in collaboration with leaders and stakeholders across the college. In his role as AD IGS Student Experience, Todd will work collaboratively across the college to build programming to support the IGS learner providing leadership and oversight of student success and engagement initiatives at the IGS. Through a lens of equity, diversity and inclusion, Todd will work closely with functional leads in other departments to develop and implement programs, processes and procedures at the IGS ensuring a positive, professional and supportive environment so that each learner has access to the support and services to reach their goals.

I’m so happy to have Todd joining the IGS team. Please join me in congratulating him and welcoming him back to Humber in his new role at the IGS.

The way different languages are structured offers immense opportunities for us to think in new ways.

Some languages, separate actions from the person. For example, in English, we label people with nouns like “Politician”, “Baker”, and “Teacher”. However, other languages, say something like “a person who bakes bread”, or “a person who shares their learning”.

Have you ever thought about the opportunities another language provides us and how limiting English can be? In Returning to the Teachings, Rupert Ross explores how language shapes our thoughts, and how we see the world. Imagine if people are seen as people first and they are not defined by their actions. What would the world be like?

Want to think about these types of questions with others?

Attend the workshop: Be the change you want to see: Co-creating a racially inclusive Humber.

Join Kathy Obear on October 26, a leader in helping to establish socially just environments, to learn more about white supremacy and how it is upheld in our institutions and ourselves, and the role white people can play in driving Humber towards racial inclusion and decolonization.
