The Human Resources and Organizational Effectiveness team has compiled a Welcome Back to Campus e-Brochure to help staff and faculty who are now working on campus. The one-page document includes helpful tips and reminders for what can be expected on campus this term.

An earlier version of this document may have been shared by managers with their teams. An updated version with the latest information can be found in the attached PDF and will also be posted on humber.ca/campus-return in the coming days.

Please keep the document handy as a quick reference in the weeks ahead.

Human Resources and Organizational Effectiveness 

Alex Hoa, Assistant Manager, Cafe LinX and Retail Service, is the first member of the Humber and Guelph-Humber community to be featured in the Sustainability Spotlight Series.

After completing the post-graduate, Event Management program at Humber three years ago, Alex assisted with Etobicoke Lakeshore Culture Days, an annual event at the Lakeshore Campus, and later took on the role of Assistant Manager, Cafe LinX and Retail Services.

Alex shared with us that she is on a continuous journey to make changes in her lifestyle to incorporate sustainability. When asked to share her secret, Alex says, “the first step is to find what you’re interested in and how you can incorporate sustainability in a positive and meaningful way. Think deeply about what you’re passionate about and be willing to change or adapt.”
