A recommendation stemming from the EDI Taskforce was for Humber to establish a group for people who identify as white and/or as having white skin privilege to:

1. Critically engage with whiteness and white privilege
2. Continue unlearning racism and internalized dominance
3. Hold each other accountable for anti-racist change and develop strategies for liberation
4. Identify ways to support Humber’s EDI Framework and Strategy

We wanted to let the community know that an initial working group has been formed to suggest how this group might take shape at Humber. The working group is composed of white-identified faculty, administrative, and support staff who expressed an interest in decolonization and anti-racist work at Humber. They are working under the advisement of Humber’s Centre for Human Rights, Equity and Inclusion and the EDI Taskforce.

In the fall of 2021, the group will formally launch for the broader community and a call for membership will take place. The shape of the group will evolve with the voices of its membership.

Please reach to one of the leads if you have interest in becoming a member. 

Proposed launch: November 2021

The eduroam wireless network is the single network available to all students, staff and faculty when on the Humber and University of Guelph-Humber campuses (North and Lakeshore).

In addition to providing secure on campus connectivity, eduroam offers simple, secure WIFI access from thousands of access points at colleges and universities worldwide. By using their login credentials, students, staff, and faculty can access the internet securely through the eduroam wireless network at participating post-secondary institutions globally.

Purchasing Services is pleased to announce that a new Vendor of Record (VOR) has been established for the supply and delivery of marketing and promotional products to the college. The new VOR is created by leveraging the collaborative competitive procurement completed by OECM who has negotiated and finalized the agreement with vendors. This process is compliant with BPS and Supply Chain Centralization Initiative.

VOR Implementation

• The agreements with the above vendors are effective from September 7, 2021, to September 19, 2023, and have an option to extend the term for one additional period of up to two years. This VOR will replace and supersede any other existing VOR for Promotional items.
• The vendors with whom you have current in-progress jobs are to continue to completion. Orders for any new requirements should consider and use this VOR.
• New orders placed with VOR should follow current purchasing procedures.* 

*Current Purchasing Procedures with VOR:

• Single Orders under $25,000.00 can be authorized using any one vendor from VOR and providing their quote (without going to RFP).
• Purchase Orders between $25,000.00 and $100,000.00 can be set up simply by obtaining three (3) or more quotes for the project to select a preferred vendor (without going to RFP).
• These quotes can be self-assessed by you and your team to choose the preferred vendor for your project.  
• Please reference “2021-358P” in the comments section of your Banner purchase requisition when using this VOR.

In case of any specific requirements, where VOR cannot be utilized, Humber staff are required to follow the college’s Purchasing policy according to the monetary spend limits.

Purchasing will be facilitating a virtual vendor fair in the coming weeks.
