PR grad certificate students’ Study Buddy program inspires connection – and a few laughs

It started as an informal Blackboard Collaborate session meant to give students from Humber’s Public Relations graduate certificate program a place to study alongside their peers.

Since then, the Study Buddy program, hosted by program coordinator Annette Borger-Snel, has become a hangout of sorts, where students can ask her questions, socialize and have the odd baking competition.

Nuit Blanche Toronto 2021: Independent Projects at Humber College Lakeshore Campus

Nuit Blanche Toronto is a free and annual overnight event, produced by the City of Toronto. It presents opportunities for audiences to explore new neighborhoods and engage with contemporary art in public spaces. Humber Galleries and Humber College Lakeshore Campus is pleased to partner with Nuit Blanche Toronto on this popular event. We invite Independent Project proposals from Humber College staff, faculty, students, and alumni, as well as Toronto-based professional artists, collectives, and arts organizations. Proposals should have a strong visual component, be rooted in contemporary art practice, and relate to this year’s curatorial theme.   

October 2, 2021 marks the 16th edition of Nuit Blanche Toronto and includes a major shift in the curatorial vision of the event. Its theme, The Space Between Us, has become even more pertinent during these many months of isolation amidst the COVID-19 global pandemic. Its content and audience participation will inevitably reflect new opportunities and obstacles for artists, encouraging everyone to rethink how we access art installations and collections, without undermining the true value of visitor experience. All submissions for Independent Projects, whether intended to be exhibited in-person or online, are encouraged. It is also suggested that physical distancing and the ability to display artwork in an online format be kept at the forefront of mind when producing in-person artwork.   

Applications must be submitted by Sunday, March 21, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. EST via email to stefanie.galvanek@humber.ca. We accept submissions as a digital PDF using the fillable PDF, or a scanned handwritten document. Alternative formats can be provided on an as needed basis.  

Before applying, please read our Application Guidelines, followed by the Application Form.

For more information, please visit our website

*Please note: All projects will have to comply with COVID-19 safety guidelines present at the time of the installation, exhibition, and takedown of the artwork. Thank you for your understanding.

Electromechanical Engineering Technology student Daneep Lahl

Humber Electromechanical Engineering Technology student whips up a robot in his free time.

In August 2020, second year Electromechanical Engineering Technology student Daneep Lahl was enjoying his full course load, but the online delivery meant he had a lot of time on his hands and little to do once he finished the work. 

Before partial campus closures in March, Lahl had been competing on a robotics team with a friend and qualified for an international championship, which was cancelled around the same time. For months, he was bored – until he was inspired to challenge himself.  

“It was also when I got my first job, so I had the money to buy a 3D printer,” he said. 

His goal was to build a remote-control robot from the wheels up.

Humber College’s DECA chapter isn’t your average club. For Devan Shingadia, a third-year student in Humber’s Bachelor of Commerce – Digital Business Management program, the extra-curricular activity has been integral to creating connections and opportunities in real life that will have a lasting impact on his career.
