ExperienceFMCA - Humber Galleries

#ExperienceFMCA is an exhibit featuring a compilation of student work from a variety of programs in the Faculty of Media and Creative Arts (FMCA), and represents the diversity of creative disciplines taught at Humber and how they often intersect. There are 48 programs in FMCA which have been organized into five categories:

  • Music and Fine Arts
  • Film, Acting and Media Production
  • Journalists and Writers
  • Social and Media Communications
  • Interaction Design

This exhibition is intended to be interactive in several ways: spend some time in the reading nook appreciating literature written by Humber students and alumni, sit and admire visual art while listening to music produced and recorded by Humber students in the state of the art recording studio, and interact with a student-designed and programmed Holograph projector. As you exit the show, make sure to contribute your feedback by engaging with the user experience activity.

Humber Galleries would like to thank the many FMCA program co-ordinators and technical staff who have supported this exhibit by providing student materials and in many cases the creation of original content for this show.

This is a note to the Humber Community that the college is aware of the coronavirus outbreak, and we are monitoring the situation and potential impact on the institution. An oversight group comprising representatives from the Academic Division, Communications, Human Resources, Legal and Risk Management, Public Safety, Student Success and Engagement, and the University of Guelph-Humber has been established and will update the community accordingly. All classes, campus operations and college activities will continue as scheduled.

Health authorities have stated that there have been two confirmed cases in Canada to date (Jan. 27), and the current risk to Canadians remains low. We have been in contact with Toronto Public Health. They have advised us that there are no particular actions required, and to follow regular respiratory illness protocols and prevention. As we are in the winter flu season, we ask that everyone wash their hands as frequently as possible, cough or sneeze into your sleeve rather than hands, and stay home if you’re feeling ill. Soap and hand sanitizer dispensers across campus will be monitored and filled regularly.

For the most up-to-date information in Ontario, community members are encouraged to visit the Ontario Ministry of Health website.

Humber takes the health and wellbeing of our staff and students seriously. Updates and more information will be provided as we continue to monitor the situation closely. If you have any questions, please contact:

Sun Life reviews the utilization of group insurance benefits at regular intervals. From time to time premium rates for these benefits are adjusted either up or down to reflect the level of usage, cost to provide these benefits, anticipated cost to maintain the benefits in the future and the cost of inflation.

Effective February 1, 2020 the premiums payable to Sun Life by Humber College as well as the premiums deducted from your pay will be adjusted as outlined in the table below. The Joint Insurance Committee (JIC) of OPSEU, OCASA and College Compensation and Appointments Council have reviewed and approved these premium rate changes. The current employee/employer cost sharing arrangements will continue as shown below.

Employees may see an increase or decrease in the employee portion of the benefit premiums depending on the type of benefits they have elected.

As plan members, there are opportunities to help keep future premiums increases under control and contribute to the long-term viability of the plan through different measures.

  • Be a smart consumer: where possible shop around for the pharmacies that have lower dispensing fees.
  • Generic version of prescription drugs-ask your doctor if there are generic version of prescription drugs that can properly treat your condition just as well as the more expensive alternative.
  • Use government plans and community services which can be found at ontario.ca/locations/health

If you would like to review your benefits, please contact your Compensation & Benefits Specialist.
