Did you know you can create additional channels in your team? By default, when you create a team, it automatically creates a General channel. And you can do all your team work within that channel. But, if you want to categorize your work, or have mini groups within your team, you can create more channels.

This month’s Orangeville Campus reflection spotlight focuses on the Police Foundations Program (PFP). The PFP program has been offered at Humber Orangeville since 2007 and is one of the campus’ flagship programs. Many of our graduates have furthered their education and/or careers in their chosen field. Here are a few highlights from students, staff, and faculty:
Brandon Lohwinow, PFP Graduate (2014) – First Class Constable, Halton Regional Police Service
My best memories from Humber Orangeville include receiving the Orangeville Police Service Award, being involved and meeting some great people within the community. The campus afforded me the opportunity to meet lifelong friends and develop and gain skills that I use in my everyday career in policing. I attribute my success in the field to the wonderful and dedicated staff and thank them for their commitment to their students and providing a sense of comfort and family to those within the program. I am currently a first class Constable with the Halton Regional Police Service.
Adam Sampson, PFP Graduate (2020) – Undergraduate student, University of Waterloo, Youth Justice Committee Member, Associated Youth Services of Peel
My experience at Humber Orangeville surpassed expectations – both in academics and inclusion. The sense of community that the campus embodies far surpasses any educational environment I’ve seen. The professionalism, empathy, and passion the faculty exhibited is unmatched – always ensuring that student well-being and success came first. Graduating from both the GAS and PFP programs thoroughly prepared me for further educational pursuits, while building me into a better student, a better leader but most importantly a better member of my community. The skills and knowledge gifted to me by Humber Orangeville has allowed me to aim higher and achieve more than I ever thought possible. I am currently enrolled as an Undergraduate student at the University of Waterloo and serve as a Youth Justice Committee Member with the Associated Youth Services of Peel.
Tyler Shibley, PFP Graduate (2016) – O.P.P. Officer
Humber Orangeville gave me the opportunity to better myself not only as a person, but also as an applicant for future employment with the O.P.P. I was able to learn from a very experienced and well diversified group of teachers, where some were retired Police Officers, and others worked in related fields. This allowed me to get the best experience possible learning in this program, and to prepare for a future in law enforcement. I took some amazing classes that allowed me to develop a great foundation of knowledge in pursuit of becoming a police officer. I was given many opportunities to volunteer with the Orangeville Police Service as well as other volunteer events that allowed for the chance to give back to the community and try to make a positive difference in people’s lives. I believe without any doubt that Humber Orangeville contributed greatly to my success in becoming hired with the O.P.P. in the fall of 2016.
Claire Parrish, PFP Graduate (2019) – University of Guelph-Humber Justice Studies Student
Being at the Humber Orangeville campus was a great experience. Due to class sizes being small, you were able to connect well with peers and professors. Morag and Linda were a huge help if you needed assistance with course selection or any issues with class, along with offering advice. Joe was also always a huge help on campus. Overall, going to Humber Orangeville was a great experience. After finishing the Police Foundations Program, I was able to get into the University of Guelph-Humber, which has been a great experience so far. My future goal is to end up working as a police officer.
Amanda Crognale, PFP Program Professor and Student Support Advisor
Humber Orangeville has always felt like a second home to me. In my time here, I have met some wonderful colleagues and developed friendships that will last a lifetime. The support, mentorship and opportunities for professional development will never be forgotten. Our team of faculty and administrative staff always went the extra mile to ensure that a student's academic experience at Humber Orangeville was a special one. I always enjoyed participating in the student orientation sessions held during the month of August. Being surrounded by so many students eager to start their education and learn more about the field of policing was so rewarding. There is just something so remarkable about collaborating with bright individuals who are compassionately driven to make the world a better place.
Mary MacLachlan, PFP Program Professor
From the first day I started at Orangeville more than 10 years ago to the last, I always felt that I was part of something special. Special due to the leadership and friendship of Joe Andrews. Special because of the caring and compassion of Morag Tierney, and special because of the amazing faculty who always made the place feel like home. Orangeville Campus was nothing short of exceptional. The bond we shared at Orangeville was unique and no passage of time or distance can undo the friendships and memories made. To all our Alumni, thank you for enriching my life and making me a better person. It was an honour to be part of Orangeville Campus. “Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened” (Dr. Seuss).
We are so proud of our PFP graduates and commend them for their commitment to law enforcement. Look for the next Orangeville Campus reflection focusing on the ECE – Early Childhood Education program in January.
On behalf of the Orangeville Campus, we’d like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.

The National Day of Remembrance & Action on Violence Against Women is commemorated on December 6. On December 6, 1989 fourteen (14) female engineering students at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal were murdered by an act of gender-based violence. On this date we commemorate the lives of all women who have experienced gender-based violence. December 6 is a date that we re-affirm our commitment to take action and help all women who experience gender-based violence.

“White Ribbon Day”: Created in 1991, coincides with the National Day of Remembrance & Action on Violence Against Women –it is a call to action to men. Men wear white ribbons as a “pledge to never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women and girls” (White Ribbon, 2020). White Ribbon is the world’s largest movement of men and boys working to end violence against women and girls, promote gender equity, healthy relationships and a new vision of masculinity. Since its inception in Toronto in 1991, The White Ribbon Campaign has spread to over 60 countries around the world (White Ribbon, 2020). |

Humber's Centre for Entrepreneurship is recruiting an Enactus Team for all faculties.
Enactus is a global non-profit that provides students with the opportunity to explore entrepreneurship through a low-risk experiential learning platform. Our team is made up of student, administrative, and industry leaders who are looking to solve our community's biggest problems through the use of innovative business principles.
The best part is, Enactus is for students of all faculties and ages, not just those in business. The skills and principles that students will take away from volunteering with this organization are invaluable and apply to all aspects of life.
We are looking to expand our team with this school’s brightest, most enthusiastic student leaders and are wondering if you can help us extend an invitation to join Enactus.
In order to help us, it would be great if you can share this Google Form with your students, so anyone interested can reach out to us.
