When:
January 29, 2025

Humber Polytechnic is delighted to welcome three new Governors to serve on Humber’s Board. Taking on these roles are:

  • Phil Graham, Assistant Deputy Minister, Strategic Policy and Planning, Ontario Ministry of Education
  • Jane Mallen, Assistant Deputy Attorney General, Policy Division, Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General

I would like to thank the Ontario government for their swift action to address the Board’s vacancies. When the entire post-secondary education sector is navigating unprecedented levels of uncertainty, these appointments ensure that the business of Humber Polytechnic can move forward without delay or distraction.

In the meantime, our core business of providing exceptional polytechnic education and preparing students for the jobs of today, and the challenges of tomorrow, continues thanks to our incredibly talented, dedicated and resilient faculty, support staff and administrators.
