Reactivation - Fall 2021

REACTIVATION is back! After such an amazing reaction to the 12 original works created by Humber students in our first iteration back in the spring, we've decided to turn this project into an annual call running twice a year with the fall and winter semesters.

What is REACTIVATION? This project brings together a group of multi-disciplinary Humber students to explore how disciplines can inspire creation in one another while working completely separated.

“REACTIVATION” begins with reactivating our Permanent Art Collection by activating student collaboration. Taking a handful of collection artworks, we have tasked a small group of student creatives to create musical works in direct reaction to these artworks; focusing in on their initial reaction and creating work based directly on that inspiration. From there, these musical pieces will be given to a second group of students to react in the same way, only this time in the form of animation or digital artworks. This process then repeats for other a final group of students to create works in any creative writing field.

Want to check out the previous REACTIVATION cohort? Visit the gallery.

Open to all Humber students, this project will take place from October 4 to December 3, with the final online exhibition going live December 8. 

Applications are open now at: http://humbergalleries.ca/reactivation
Deadline to apply is Friday, September 24 at 11:59 p.m. EST

Space is limited and participants will be selected by a panel of Humber staff. All creatives chosen will be given a $100 honourarium for their participation.

For more info please visit humbergalleries.ca/reactivation or contact casey.norris@humber.ca.

As we approach the beginning of a new academic year, we are excited to share some important changes within the Student Wellness and Equitable Learning area.

Over the last year, the Office of Student Conduct has undertaken a comprehensive review of the Code of Student Conduct to align with the College’s commitments to EDI, anti-oppressive practice, and developmental administrative policies. The result is a newly re-branded Code of Student Community Standards. The Code has been updated to reflect enhanced harm reduction and restorative justice principles to further emphasize College and community orientations to citizenship. The Code and Office have been rebranded to align with these changes and to communicate the values and intention of the policy, procedures, and team in fostering conditions for community wellbeing and care.

The Office of Student Community Standards will continue with our mandate of promoting the rights, well-being, and safety of community members at Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber. The renewed identity reflects the work of our team and symbolizes the priorities of Student Wellness and Equitable Learning, our priorities as an institution, and connects to Humber Tomorrow.

Our Student Community Standards Advisors, formerly Student Conduct Coordinators, will continue to support students, staff, and faculty in a consistent manner to resolve concerns about non-academic student behaviour, using formal or informal resolution pathways. Any member of the Humber or Guelph-Humber community (student, staff, or faculty) can contact the Office of Student Community Standards to consult about a matter and without lodging a formal complaint. Our office may be contacted by email at OSCS@humber.ca or phone 416.675.6622 x4357. These changes will be reflected on our website, humber.ca/knowthecode in the coming weeks.

We are excited about this change, and wish to thank all those who consulted and contributed to the new identity of our office and the revised Code.

Demystifying Innovation Podcast Art. From the Office of Research and Innovation.

Introducing a new podcast from the Office of Research & Innovation, Demystifying Innovation! Every week, our host Nathan Whitlock will talk to academic leaders about the setbacks, challenges, obstacles, and outright mistakes they faced in their careers, and the important lessons they've drawn from those moments.

Within this podcast, will be nurturing a culture of innovation, and talking with faculty and industry to help inspire you to innovate. Here, we’re building a community through story telling, making the topic of innovation more accessible.

In our first episode, we talk to Frank Cappadocia, Humber's Dean of Continuous Professional Learning. You’ll hear Frank talk about how, as Director of Student Affairs at York University, a student brought up a major flaw in Frank's orientation plan, a flaw that pushed him to innovate and have a student orientation with higher engagement than previous years.

Permanent Closure of Cash Office at North Campus
View in full page
When:
September 7, 2021
Posters/Attachments: Event Poster

What is changing?

The cash office at North Campus is now permanently closed.

Why was this change made?

During the last several years, the College has taken steps to reduce the use of cash as a form of payment for Humber-owned establishments and events. This was in response to changing personal preference and evolution of financial service landscape with enabling technologies. The impacts of the pandemic on our campuses and activities over the past year have accelerated the decline of cash usage in favour of electronic payment methods.

What does this mean for me?

All the College-run services and establishments accept online banking, credit and debit card payments and will no longer be accepting cash as a method of payment. Chartwells, Bookstore, and other partner-run retail and food services are not impacted by this decision.

In order to facilitate any time-limited collection activity, Moneris payment terminals are available for temporary, short term rentals from Finance by submitting a Moneris Terminal Rental Request form. For ongoing or longer term solutions that may be required, please contact treasury@humber.ca to discuss your needs and available options.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and support of this change.
