Buckle up to experience the Lakeshore Grounds like never before! 

The Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre has been busy creating a new Summer Soundscape Series in which we take you back in time to experience the Lakeshore Grounds of yesteryear. Every few weeks we will be dropping a self-guided soundscape tour to help you envision what the area looked and sounded like at different times. You can either download an audio file and map to take with you on a journey around the grounds or watch a video version featuring archival and contemporary photos from the comfort of your own home.

Our first soundscape is already live: Step back to 1969 and explore a day as a Lakeshore Teachers' College student!

Files are available on our website at lakeshoregrounds.ca/soundscapes.

Campus organizations that offer employees opportunities for social and professional networking, peer mentoring, and more are typically referred to as employee resource groups (ERGs) or affinity groups.

Humber's African/Black Affinity Group and LGBTQ+ Affinity Group provide an atmosphere that fosters growth and development for members and promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus. Each organization assists in the recruitment, retention, and advancement of underrepresented employees as well as provides opportunities for community engagement and outreach.

Besides teaching across a number of programs and being a Program Coordinator for the Public Relations diploma program for many years, she has taught and volunteered her time in numerous departments at Humber.

It shows slightly more international students receiving awards than domestic students. Of the international students, about one forth are 25 years or older. Of the domestic students, about one third are 25 years or older.

On March 31, 2020, Humber surveyed its students to assess how COVID-19 was impacting them. Students reported high stress related to:

  • The loss of employment;
  • The ability to pay for food and housing; and
  • The ability to continue in academic programs while providing childcare or other family support.

International students and those older than 25 years were disproportionately affected. This research finding is consistent with college’s and Ignite’s Emergency Financial Relief Fund awards disbursed in the winter and summer of 2020, which saw proportionately more of this population receive funding to meet basic needs than their domestic counterparts and those younger than 25 years.

A previous study of the impact of Humber’s financial aid program on student success found that financial assistance positively affected retention, and students who received financial aid had higher GPAs than those that did not.

The analysis is available in this new one page brief. For more information, please contact Abhinandhan Raghu.

This publication is the latest in IPA’s Insights series which supports institutional data literacy and the establishment of a common understanding about important institutional issues and topics related to Humber’s strategic priorities.

When:
July 9, 2020

In the past year, the Office of Sustainability alongside BEST Service Pros has worked hard to increase waste management education on campus including new signage and four-stream bins at Lakeshore.

While we may not be on campus, waste reduction and proper waste sorting is as important as ever. We want to make sure that the Humber community has the tools and resources they need to manage their waste, both at home and on campus.

Please fill out this short survey, and we'll provide you with some tips on how to reduce, recycle and compost properly at your house.

For waste management at home, we have created a Sustainability at Home resource that includes recycling and compost tips. In addition, if you are living in Toronto you can learn more about sorting your items on the Waste Wizard search engine.

If you have any more ideas about how we can improve waste reduction at Humber, please reach out directly to safa.al-haji@humber.ca.
