We caught up with professor Faruk Erkmen on his project with Eleven X last week, and this week we dive deeper into his journey to teaching at Humber College.
An excerpt from the article on his experience as a professor: "I try to relate everything I teach in class to real-life situations. When the theory is relevant to everyday applications, I see the spark in students' eyes, which is most rewarding."

Flags at Humber campuses will be at half-mast on Thursday, March 11, 2021 to mark the National Day of Observance for COVID-19.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently issued a statement to announce the Government of Canada is designating March 11, 2021, as a National Day of Observance to commemorate the people who lost their lives and the significant impacts we have all felt because of COVID-19.
“Early last year, our lives, and the lives of everyone around the world, were forever changed by the emergence of COVID-19. Today – one year after the first known death of a Canadian to the disease – we now mourn the tragic loss of more than 22,000 parents, siblings, friends, and loved ones."

Library technicians work miracles to support faculty and students as resources move online
A few months ago, Humber media resources library technician Maria Soares received a request from a faculty member that, prior to March 2020, would have been a breeze to fulfill.
She was asked to provide the 2019 film There’s Something in the Water, which explores environmental racism, directed by Elliot Page. In fact, the documentary was the one of the library’s most-requested film.
The problem was, since campus closed last March, the library could no longer lend the DVDs faculty relied on for in-class instruction and creating a digital file is complicated. The library didn’t even own a DVD of the film yet, because it was a new release. Soares would be starting from scratch.
