There’s a new way to give back at Humber

Giving Tuesday is right around the corner! On December 2, this Global Day of Giving will kick off once again, and people everywhere will choose to support the causes closest to their hearts, including our very own, Humber Polytechnic. 

We’re excited to introduce a new way to give back to Humber. 

Introducing… The Humber Giving Well.

From emergency bursaries and scholarships to specialized equipment and learning experiences, the Humber Giving Well showcases the many fundraising opportunities that will ensure today’s students have everything they need to build brilliance. And, whether you choose to give back through a specific faculty or department or explore the many opportunities for you to make an impact at Humber, you can directly support the priorities and projects closest to your heart. 

But this is more than just a simple and fun way to give. With the Giving Well, you get to decide exactly how you want to help the next generation of Humber students. 

Your impact, your way 

There are two ways you can give back through the Giving Well

  1. Make a one-time donation — Choose which fundraising opportunity aligns best with your values or reflects your Humber journey and make your gift by clicking “Give Now.”  
  1. Start your own fundraiser — Have a specific area you’re passionate about? Start raising support yourself in just minutes by setting up a personal fundraising page on the Giving Well! Simply click “Learn More” and “Start Fundraising” for your chosen opportunity.  

More information will be coming as we gear up for Giving Tuesday. In the meantime, if you have any questions, you can download this helpful guide [PDF], check out these additional resources, or reach out to the Melissa at melissa.beauchamp@humber.ca.

The Humber Research Ethics Board (HREB) has an institutional mandate to conduct an ethics review of all proposals for research involving human participants which will be conducted within the Humber Community, with the use of Humber resources or otherwise under the auspices of Humber. The HREB reviews research applications to ensure that all ethical issues are adequately identified and addressed. Serving on the HREB offers an excellent opportunity for Humber faculty to demonstrate a strong commitment to the institution and make a significant contribution to supporting the development of a strong research ethics framework at Humber.

The HREB is seeking to recruit three new (3) full-time Members. Applications are invited from all interested Humber full time faculty who meet the following eligibility criteria:

(i) minimum of a Master’s Degree; and

(ii) experience in conducting research.

HREB Members are appointed for an initial term of two years and are eligible for two renewals up to a maximum period of six years. If interested, please submit a curriculum vitae to reb@humber.ca by Monday, December 1, 2025.

To obtain more information about what is involved in being a Member of the HREB including the time commitments associated with being a member, please contact the Chair, Audel Cunningham at audel.cunningham@humber.ca.
