Update (June 27): Farzad leaves next week to begin his hike – he has almost reached his new goal of $6,000! Please donate to encourage him and support our students.
Update (June 20): Senior Dean Farzad Rayegani has surpassed his fundraising goal of $5,000! Farzad is so grateful for the incredible support: “I thought I would be walking the Camino alone, but I have received so much encouragement, support and positivity already. Just like you will be cheering me on as I walk up the Pyrenees on my first day, you will also be there for our students and supporting the exciting journey they have ahead of them!” Farzad believes that together, we can reach a new goal of $6,000 for student scholarships. Please show your support and give now.
Update (June 14): Senior Dean Farzad Rayegani set out to raise $2,500 for Humber FAST student scholarships and has reached his goal in just two days! Thank you to his generous supporters. He’s increasing his goal to $5,000 to help even more Humber FAST students to make their academic dreams a reality. Please show your support and give now.
In July, Farzad Rayegani, Senior Dean of Humber’s Faculty of Applied Sciences & Technology, will be hiking the Camino de Santiago, an 800 km hiking trail in northwestern Spain. Thousands of people walk the Camino de Santiago each year. The vast majority of pilgrims are on their own quests, whether they be physical, recreational or spiritual.
On his journey, Farzad will draw upon the same mental and physical resilience that Humber students display in pursuit of their academic goals. As part of his trip, he is aiming to raise $2,500 to support student scholarships in the Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology.
70% of students who withdraw from their studies at Humber do so because of financial constraints. Scholarships ensure that all deserving students can complete their studies, regardless of their financial situation. A gift in the form of a scholarship not only provides students with valuable support, but also gives them the encouragement to go further than they ever thought possible.
In Farzad’s own words:
“For me, this month-long hike will be an amazing challenge, but an achievable one too. I have packed, repacked, planned and prepared, and soon I will have 30 days to follow my thoughts wherever they want to go. I will soak in the history, explore large cities and meander through fields, small towns and villages. My time will be my own and all I need to do is keep a simple rhythm of daily needs: eat, walk, sleep – putting one foot in front of the other to meet the often grueling demands of the Camino.
As Rumi said, ‘It’s your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.’
Each one of you will be with me in spirit as I make this journey, and I hope you will support our students as they embark on their demanding academic journeys as well. Buen Camino!”
Give now to help Farzad reach his goal and help students like Chantal achieve an education and bright, prosperous future.

Don’t know what the HRMS is?
The Human Resource Management System (HRMS), is a new Human Capital Management fully integrated, cloud based system that will replace Humber's existing legacy system. The new HRMS will serve as a central source of information for all HR related processes and programs, making it accessible to staff, faculty and other stakeholders through their computer, on or off campus.
Once deployed, the new HRMS provides access to core HR functions, based on your profile as a manager or an employee. Some functionality includes:
- Entering and tracking attendance
- Benefits enrollment
- Entering and approving time
- Talent management (Which includes Recruitment)
- And much more!
This would allow HR to:
- Become Better business partners to faculties and departments
- Deliver real-time data & information that will improve decision-making
- Have enhanced reporting capability
- Streamline processes to enable faster transactions
For managers and employees, the direct access functionality will become the new way of interacting with HR giving you the flexibility, autonomy and a sense of ownership for a better overall manager and employee experience.
As we get ready to ‘Go Live’ all impacted stakeholders will be receiving training information to ensure that the transition to the new HRMS is easy and seamless.
To find out more about the HRMS, contact the HRMS Change Management Team at HRMSChangeTeam@humber.ca.

We are very excited to share that Community Outreach & Workforce Development (COWD) and the Centre for Entrepreneurship (CfE) has partnered to launch a new pilot program, Launch Me Community Transition Program (LCTP), at Lakeshore Campus this summer.
The LCTP is designed for those who may or may not have completed high school and are interested in pathways to postsecondary, specifically around upstreaming skills related to business and entrepreneurship. Participants will earn a Certificate of Participation from Humber’s Centre for Entrepreneurship and will have an individualized pathway plan for next steps after completing the program. Interested participants will also have the chance to pitch their ideas to receive start-up or research & development dollars (up to $500) for their small business concept. This program will incorporate 1-1 advising, mentorship and skills development, and will run for one day per week over five weeks.
Ideal participants are young adults between the ages of 19-29, however those over 30 can also apply. This is the first time that Humber’s Centre for Entrepreneurship’s “Launch Me” programming will be available to residents in Humber’s local communities as a specialized offering. This program will complement Humber’s successful Youth Transition Program model and will offer an alternate pathway opportunity. This is a great capacity and resume building opportunity for young adults who are budding entrepreneurs, who are looking to take their skills to the next level, and pursue further education.
There are 20 spots available for the pilot. All sessions will take place at Humber’s Lakeshore Campus. Applications will be reviewed on a first come basis. To learn more please go to humber.ca/cfe/programs/launch-me-community-transition-program.
This initiative aligns with Pillar 2, Accessible Education of Humber’s 2018-23 Strategic Plan:
- Develop a unique mix of credential and non-credential programs that meet the needs of our students, communities and the labour market.
- Develop personalized and adaptive learning experiences that facilitate student success and engagement.

Do you know what’s new on the HRMS for Employees?
Ability to directly update your banking information – That’s right! With the HRMS, employees will be able to update their banking information directly through the system. You will no longer have to submit an HRIN to HR for them to update this information for you.
Not exciting enough for you? Let us then introduce a net new feature with the HRMS, the ability to deposit percentages of your salary in more than one bank account! You will no longer have to transfer money between your bank accounts after you get paid, as with HRMS, you can assign funds to automatically transfer to different bank accounts, as a percentage of your total pay.
Keep a lookout for our upcoming Communiqué announcements where we will be sharing more details with you regarding new functionalities within the HRMS, upcoming events, important dates and training sessions.
