In the upcoming weeks, two significant changes to MyHumber will occur: 

  • Banner 8 Self-Service (SSB8) to Banner 9 Self-Service (SSB9) upgrade, which will impact certain applications within MyHumber
  • MyHumber interface will change with the introduction of Ellucian Experience  

Modernization with Banner 9 Self-Service  

The move from SSB8 to SSB9 is a necessary upgrade driven by the end-of-support for SSB8, ensuring our Humber Polytechnic experience remains modern, secure and fully supported. SSB9 delivers a cleaner interface with enhanced navigation, improved accessibility and reduced reliance on legacy dependencies. Some pages in MyHumber already exist in SSB9 (e.g., Student Profile). 

MyHumber’s Elevated Digital Experience  

With the move from SSB8 to SSB9 brings an elevated user experience on MyHumber. The upgrade will enable a unified, personalized digital hub that brings critical information, tasks and tools together in one intuitive, role-based interface, reflecting our priority to reimagine learning and drive impactful outcomes. Students, faculty and staff will gain more unified access to BlackBoard, schedules, grades, notifications and key campus resources all in one place. 

An example of the upgraded MyHumber interface users can expect has been included for reference.

More information and training resources will be made available prior to the upgrade.

Last Wednesday, the Faculty of Health & Life Sciences and the School of Nursing officially launched our new Living Classroom at Schlegel Villages’ Village of Humber Heights — an innovative learning environment that brings education and real-world practice together in one inspiring space.

Colleagues from across Humber and Schlegel Villages joined us to celebrate the opening, explore the classroom and lab, tour Schlegel’s Main Street concept, and learn more about this unique model of learning and care. The event featured remarks from Jamie Schlegel, president and CEO, Schlegel Villages; Carolyn Triemstra, education engagement lead, SchlegelUW Research Institute for Aging; Dr. Gina Antonacci, senior vice-president Academic; and Dr. Sandra Filice, dean, School of Nursing.

The new Living Classroom features a 46-seat classroom, a six-bed simulation lab, a dedicated simulation suite, and an apartment style learning area that reflects the environments students will encounter in practice.

The Living Classroom will welcome its first cohort of Practical Nursing and Personal Support Worker students on Monday, January 26, and we are thrilled to begin this new venture in innovative teaching and learning.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to Humber’s Facilities and ITS teams for their tremendous work in preparing the space for this milestone. We are equally grateful to the dedicated FHLS support staff, academic leaders, and operations teams whose collaboration and care brought this vision to life. Thank you to everyone who played a part in making the Living Classroom a reality.

We look forward to welcoming our first students next week!

Land as First Teacher – Pilot Launch

Indigenous Teaching & Learning Bundle | Winter 2026

Indigenous Education & Engagement is pleased to launch Land as First Teacher, the second course in the Indigenous Teaching & Learning Bundle. This seven-week asynchronous pilot course is grounded in Indigenous knowledge systems and pedagogical principles rooted in land and place, and invites faculty and staff to consider land as a guiding orientation for teaching, learning, and responsibility.

Participants will examine colonial ideas about land and knowledge in education and engage Indigenous counterstories of resistance, refusal, and continuity. Through readings, reflection, and discussion, the course supports exploration of how land as first teacher can inform curriculum design, classroom practice, and approaches to assessment across teaching and learning contexts.

February 9 to March 30 | Asynchronous
Registration is limited for this pilot.

Register now (Registration is at capacity. To join waitlist, please contact aaron.sykes@humber.ca.)

Leanne Henwood-Adam Hits the 35-Year Milestone at Humber

Honouring three-and-a-half decades of leadership, care, and community impact.

At Humber Polytechnic's North Campus Fitness Centre, a steady presence is woven into the walls, the programs, and the people themselves. That presence is Leanne Henwood-Adam.

This January, Leanne reached an extraordinary milestone — 35 years at Humber. It's a number that reflects not just longevity, but a career defined by purpose, leadership, and a deep commitment to student and staff well-being.

Leanne began her journey when the Fitness Centre looked very different from what students know today. In its earliest days, fitness programming lived in the gym, squash courts, and spaces now occupied by Therapy Services. As Humber grew, Leanne helped guide that growth. She played a key role in designing and outfitting every expansion of the Fitness Centre, ensuring each evolution reflected accessibility, functionality, and a welcoming environment. The modern facility is, in many ways, a physical timeline of her vision.
