April 30, 2021

In an article published today by Polytechnics Canada, Faculty of Health Sciences & Wellness Senior Dean Jason Powell calls for funding to support future-focused, innovative initiatives required to address recovery needs post-pandemic, and to deliver on our promise of producing career-ready, front line graduates.

The COVID-19 pandemic has made Canadians acutely aware of the necessity and role of healthcare professionals.  Recognizing that pandemic-induced disruptions over the last year will inevitably linger, with a long road yet to normalcy, investing in infrastructure, cybersecurity and educational resources is critical.

After over ten years of progressive and dedicated service within Humber International, Kim Smith has decided to retire. Kim’s calm presence, ongoing mentorship of others and her steady, positive departmental leadership will be sorely missed by all in the department and by the many colleagues throughout Humber she works with to support our international students. Kim will be leaving at the end of May. We’re planning a Teams farewell get-together on Thursday, May 27 at 3:30 p.m. The get-together link will be circulated closer to the event date. In the meantime, please mark your calendars! We’d love to have you join us to thank Kim for her superb work and to wish her well.
