As many in the Humber community know, the College usually celebrates Fall Convocation in November. This year, like many other things, is different. Rather than holding an in-person ceremony, please join us for Virtual Convocation on Wednesday, November 25 at 1 p.m.
The special watch party event will include a video presentation with speeches and well wishes from special guests and a graduate list to acknowledge those we are celebrating.
Please visit the Convocation webpage for a link to our celebration page with social media swag, the opportunity to provide graduate shout outs, alumni information and more – all for the Humber community to help mark this important occasion.
Graduating students have been mailed Grad Boxes which are filled with fun and engaging ways to have convocation from home. A frame cut out, confetti, stickers and vee stoles are some of the highlights.
Join us for Virtual Convocation on November 25 at 1 p.m. and join in the conversation using #HumberConvo.

A little over a year ago, when the Human Resource Management System (HRMS) went live, we introduced Guided Learning, an in-app learning solution that provides you with step-by-step process walkthrough instructions via pop-up messages. Guided Learning helps you and your team get up to speed faster and enables you to learn new process flows with ease.
Guided learning is an essential learning tool that is continuously improving and it works alongside our HRMS Knowledge Base (KB) to provide you with up-to-date & on-demand learning material on everything related to the HRMS.
Today we are happy to announce that a new version of Guided Learning will be released within the HRMS on Monday November 23, 2020. The new Guided Learning offers many enhancements over our current widget that will help improve your in-app learning experience.
