Humber's Centre for Entrepreneurship is recruiting an Enactus Team for all faculties. 

Enactus is a global non-profit that provides students with the opportunity to explore entrepreneurship through a low-risk experiential learning platform. Our team is made up of student, administrative, and industry leaders who are looking to solve our community's biggest problems through the use of innovative business principles. 

The best part is, Enactus is for students of all faculties and ages, not just those in business. The skills and principles that students will take away from volunteering with this organization are invaluable and apply to all aspects of life.

We are looking to expand our team with this school’s brightest, most enthusiastic student leaders and are wondering if you can help us extend an invitation to join Enactus. 

In order to help us, it would be great if you can share this Google Form with your students, so anyone interested can reach out to us. 

For any further details, please reach out to Angela Issac and Blagica Temovska at enactus.humber@gmail.com.

Are you looking for new healthy ideas to boost your meals? Today’s focus is on healthy eating, and as part of the HROE Wellness campaign to Pause, Recharge, and Re-centre, we are highlighting the athletic programs to let you know that they support you with workouts and healthy tips.

Have you considered the health benefits of zucchini?

Zucchini is known for improving digestion, slowing down aging, lowering blood sugar, supporting healthy circulation and a healthy heart, improving eye health, boosting energy, improving thyroid and adrenal functions and protecting against oxidation and inflammation. That’s quite a list for this humble vegetable.

How about starting your day with a healthy dose of apple crumble oats or avocado and toast? How about a black bean burger for lunch? And you can finish the day with one of our own fitness instructors’, signature kale salad? For those with a sweet tooth, try a Fudgy Avocado cookie?

Healthy tips and recipes like these can be found at the Humber College Fitness - North Campus Facebook page.

Head over to the Humber fitness Instagram accounts today to check out their ‘Trainer Tip Tuesday’ and tomorrow for their ‘Workout Wednesdays’!

Get social with us and upload/tag any related pics to #HealthyHumber. Also, catch up on the latest fitness blog post Do you stay inside your “Circle of Influence”?

We are pleased to announce that we are upgrading the Facilities Management (Archibus) Work Order Request System. The Work Order System will soon be upgraded to the Archibus 25.1 version. The system will be unavailable between Monday, December 7 at 12 a.m. until Tuesday, December 8 at 12 a.m. for this work to be completed.

This upgrade will resolve the limitation of being dependent upon Adobe Flash and will offer clients more streamlined interfaces. The link to place Service Requests will still be found at humber.ca/facilities.

As we roll out this new version clients can expect service outages on December 7 and 8. Clients who are unable to place Service requests on those days should call 416.675.6622 x4444 to place a service request .

This upgrade will not affect how clients access or use the system. More information will be available in the coming days via the Facilities Management website including Tip Sheets and updated User Guides.

If you have questions or concerns about this project please contact suzanne.hardcastle@humber.ca.

Dear all,

As some of you may know, December 6 marks 31 years since the murder of 14 young women at École Polytechnique de Montréal. On this day in 1989, a gunman entered an engineering classroom and ordered the women and men to opposite sides of the room. He then asked the men to leave before opening fire against these women and others in the school. At the time it was the deadliest mass shooting event in Canadian history.

National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women

December 6 is now marked as a National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women. I encourage you to take time out of your day to commemorate the events in that engineering classroom, and reflect that 31 years after this atrocious event, women in our communities still confront misogyny in their everyday lives. We must share in our commitment to end gender-based violence.

On behalf of FAST’s Leadership Team,

Farzad Rayegani, Ph.D., P. Eng., FEC.
Senior Dean, FAST

A big thank you to everyone who made a donation this past #GivingTuesday to help support our students who have been disproportionately affected by the pandemic.

Every dollar truly can make a big difference for a struggling student.

For those who have not yet had a chance to make their gift, but would like to support students through a donation to the SOS Fund – there’s still time! Humber will match gifts to this fund until December 31 so that each donation can go twice as far to help even more students in need.  

To make a donation, please visit humber.ca/SOSFund. If you would like to sign up for payroll deductions, please click here.

If you would like to increase your current payroll donations, or if you have any questions please contact Melissa Beauchamp, Director Annual and Leadership Giving at melissa.beauchamp@humber.ca.
