Signage will be posted around campus to direct staff and students to their destinations on campus.
We are thrilled to share that our Bringing in the Bystander training program is now available for remote delivery!
Bringing in the Bystander is a two-hour training session during which students will gain an understanding of sexual violence, rape culture, consent, and how to intervene in instances of sexual violence; through a series of activities, participants engage with these topics and develop empathy for survivors of sexual assault.
Over the past five years, we have trained 3,000+ students as active bystanders, and we're not letting COVID-19 slow us down! Synchronous sessions are available for remote delivery, and a modified Blackboard module will be available for asychronous delivery as of Fall 2020. We are excited to continue providing this valuable educational opportunity for your students while we are working and learning remotely.
To request a Bringing in the Bystander training session, please fill out this workshop request form to learn more about the program, check out the attached infographic and email bystanderprogram@humber.ca.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity and the EDI Taskforce have received many requests in the past few weeks for resources on how to become a better ally, specifically to the Black community. We have compiled a number of resources that will help the Humber community deepen their understanding of anti-Black racism and embolden them to become better allies for the Black community.
