In early December 2021, Humber officially launched a group for employees who identify as white and/or as having white skin privilege to examine how they have been conditioned by their whiteness and how it shows up in their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and within their institutions (home, work, educational, religious, etc.). The Unlearning Circle: Humber employees dismantling whiteness focuses on unpacking and dismantling white supremacy culture and unlearning it.
Interested in joining the circle or have questions about it? For more information email theunlearningcircle@humber.ca, or visit our webpage to learn more and access past meeting materials.
Next session: The Circle will hold its tenth session virtually on Monday, December 12 from 12:05 p.m. to 1:25 p.m.

Last week, Continuous Professional Learning (CPL) proudly hosted the inaugural Celebration of Excellence event for graduates who had successfully completed a Certificate of Accomplishment between September 2021 and August 2022.
More than 200 graduates and guests attended the event which took place at the Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation (BCTI) Atrium Humber College, North Campus.
Kelly Jackson, vice-president, External Affairs and Professional Learning, Dr. Gina Antonacci, senior vice-president, Academic, and Frank Cappadocia, dean of CPL, inspired the audience and emphasized the value of lifelong learning and the importance of constant growth.
The graduates had the opportunity to have professional headshots courtesy of CPL and enjoyed connecting with their fellow graduates and instructors.
Tours of the Barrett Centre were available as well, and many delighted in taking photographs with their facilitators and showcasing their certificates. Graduates thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the pride in their achievements was clearly displayed on their smiling faces.
Faculty and staff were honored to celebrate this important milestone with the learners and look forward to many more CPL Excellence events in the future.

In Ontario, less than 5% of youth in extended society care (youth who are in or from the foster care system) graduate from college or university. The inability to cover tuition and living expenses are some of the reasons for this low success rate.
Humber currently has 55 students in extended society care. We are starting an initiative to support these students through a special bursary fund. By supporting extended society care students, you will show that our community stands behind them and wants them to succeed.
Every dollar counts, especially on Giving Tuesday where your donation will be matched!
