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 Humber students who withdraw from their studies at Humber do so because of financial constraints. Scholarships ensure that all deserving Humber students can complete their studies, regardless of their financial situation. A gift in the form of a scholarship not only provides Humber 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 Humber students as they embark on their demanding academic journeys as well. Buen Camino!”

Give now to help Farzad reach his goal and help Humber students achieve an education and bright, prosperous future.

In a previous communiqué, we provided you with an overview of what you can expect from the new HRMS from the two perspectives Manager Direct Access (MDA) and Employee Direct Access (EDA).

Today, we will like to share a sneak peek of the system from the EDA perspective, previewing the different functionality that the employees can perform on the system. Click on the link below to view a short video of EDA. Enjoy!

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.

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.

Updated Policy and Procedure: Temporary Use of Space for Events

The College’s updated Temporary Use of Space for Events Policy and Procedure will be effective July 2, 2019. The new policy and procedure will be posted here.

The manner in which space is booked for on-campus events, for both internal and external clients, will become more streamlined along with the defined approval process. All events and activities using space on campus will require a permit which will be issued by the booking authority, subject to inspection by the department of Public Safety or other college officials upon demand. This will ensure that all bookings have been vetted, meet risk management guidelines and are logged properly so that in the event of an emergency we can take appropriate action.

Some examples of the types of events/activities that are impacted by the new policy/procedure are (but are not limited to):

  • Vendor sales in the concourse i.e. Valentine’s Day gifts, graduation rings, flowers etc.
  • Student/Department led bake/craft sales and/or project displays
  • Art shows
  • Conference activities
  • Information tabling
  • Performances
  • Any use of space outside of regular business hours
  • Etc.

All external requests for booking space on campus will be managed by Humber’s Conference Services Department and should be referred to an Event Logistics Liaison at hcs@humber.ca or 416.675.5027. Internal requests for booking space will continue to be verified and processed through the Registration Office Scheduling Department via a new Temporary Use of Space Application form. If a request is deemed to be external, it will be forwarded to the Conference Services office.

During July, a series of training sessions will be provided on the revised policy and procedure for those who regularly book space for their departments or faculties.  Those dates will be published in an upcoming communique message once finalized.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of the following:

  1. Rhonda Harrison (Registrar’s Office) – x4024
  2. Connie Sanfilippo (Campus Services) – x77124
  3. Rob Kilfoyle (Public Safety) – x4417

Thank you,
