Start the conversation with your prospects now. 

The 2022/2023 Viewbook is now available online in a ‘flipbook’ style via ISSUU. It also works as a great reference tool in the admissions process.

While we can’t always be in front of every prospective student interested in Humber, we can put our best (online) foot forward with a digital version of our Viewbook. Highlighted on our humber.ca/future-students landing page, it features live links to many of our support services, virtual campus tours, our Win $5,000 Tuition contest and so much more.

The following message was shared with students on Tuesday, September 28. 

Dear Humber and Guelph-Humber Students,

As we approach the end of September, we hope that you are finding opportunities for learning, wellness, and connection. Over the past several weeks there have been multiple stories about acts of sexual violence on post-secondary campuses. It is important to recognize the impact of these events on those who have experienced sexual violence and to commit to real change in our own communities.

Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber are committed to creating a safe campus experience free from violence for all members of our community. We take this commitment seriously and work diligently with campus and community supports, programs and services to ensure violence is addressed and survivors are supported.

Humber’s Department of Public Safety provides many services to ensure our community members are safe on campus. Some of these include emergency response (call 416.675.6622 x4000), the Campus Walk program, and the Humber Guardian app. Students living in Residence can also access safety supports such as the Resident Assistants on-call, the Front Desk, and the Residence Life Coordinator on-call.

Students who are impacted by sexual violence are encouraged to reach out to the many on- and off-campus supports available, including:

• Student Support & Intervention Coordinators (SICsupport@humber.ca or 416.675.6622 x2102)
• Counselling Services (counselling@humber.ca)
  • 416.675.5090 (North & Carrier Drive Campus)
  • 416.675.6622 x3321 (Lakeshore Campus and the International Graduate School)
• Office of Student Community Standards (oscs@humber.ca or 416.675.6622 x4357)
• Good2Talk (1.866.925.5454)
• Toronto Rape Crisis Centre/Multicultural Women Against Rape (416.597.8808)

Students seeking to make a formal complaint of sexual violence are encouraged to contact the Office of Student Community Standards or Department of Public Safety.

As we think about the responsibility that we all hold to ensure a safe campus, we encourage you to participate in our Take Back the Night programming taking place this Wednesday, September 29. Take Back the Night is an opportunity for us to come together as a community to protest sexual violence and march in solidarity with survivors; this year’s programming will include:

• Keynote Speaker Cheryl Nembhard; participants can register to attend in person or virtually
• Sign-Making from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. at North and Lakeshore
• North Campus March from 6:30 p.m. to 7 p.m.
• Lakeshore Campus Rally from 6:45 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Learn more by visiting the Take Back the Night website.

Students who would like to learn more about sexual violence, consent, bystander intervention, and supporting survivors of sexual violence are encouraged to participate in our various learning opportunities, including:

• It Takes All of Us learning module in Blackboard & CourseLink
• Bringing in the Bystander two-hour workshop

Follow the Consent Peer Education Program on Instagram or visit their website to learn about upcoming initiatives.

Let’s work together to create a respectful campus free of violence.

Enhancing Institutional EDI Knowledge of Disability and Academic Accessibility: 

• Many students with disabilities require more time to consolidate and process what they have learned. This may involve advanced access to and frequent review of their readings and notes ahead of any quizzes.   

• Quizzes are practical scaffolding tools and if they are part of your lesson plan, please set these to be completed outside class time or provide a scheduled date. Pop quizzes during class or directly after class put many students, including those with disabilities, at a disadvantage.  

• Consider an alternative to quizzes such as a take-home application assignment or written reflection due by the next class.  

Visit our Accessible Learning Services faculty site to learn more about accommodating students with disabilities.  

Please email us at accessible-learning@humber.ca with suggestions for key accessibility-related topics that you would like us to address through the Communiqué.
