Help Senior Dean Farzad Rayegani Support Humber Students

Update: Senior Dean Farzad Rayegani, set out to raise $2,500 for Humber 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 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 our last communiqué, we shared with you a sneak peek of the new system from the Manager Direct Access (MDA) perspective, previewing the different functionality that the Manager can perform on HRMS.

Now, let’s watch a short video which highlights the benefits of Guided Learning and how it will simplify learning for you. Guided Learning is an in-app solution that provides you and your team with guidance via pop-up instructions and explanations within a workflow. Guided Learning helps you complete the work activities easily, without having to exit the workflow to find job aids and other supports. In this way users will learn by doing and this always helps to accelerate end user adoption.

Don’t know what 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.

I write to share some remarkable news from our Faculty of Health Sciences and Wellness. Our Practical Nurse (PN) Diploma and UNB/Humber Baccalaureate Nursing (BN) Programs have been awarded exemplary program approval status, receiving the highest approval possible.  

The College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO), Governing Council, has awarded the PN Diploma Program with Category 1 status. The Council also reviewed our mandatory approval indicators for our UNB/Humber BN Degree Program. Our results demonstrated exemplary scoring and our first time pass rates on our national registration examinations were well above the national average. 

I want to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of the entire Nursing Division, and our administration team for their tireless commitment to ensuring our Nursing Programs (PN and BN cluster) are models of excellence for the province. Our system leadership is a direct reflection of the commitment of all involved. It is clear the collaboration demonstrated with the Faculty of Liberal Arts & Sciences and Innovative Learning, Bioscience, Program Planning, Development & Renewal, Applied Research & Innovation, and the Centre for Teaching and Learning has created the conditions for our programs to be ranked among the best in Ontario. Thank you to all who worked tirelessly to ensure these excellent results, we can all be very proud.  
 
Please join me in offering congratulations and celebrating our important accomplishments. 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Jason Powell, RN., BScN., MScN., Ph.D.
Senior Dean, Faculty of Health Sciences and Wellness

The Global Student Voices Podcast follows three international students on their journey to “learn how to learn” over their semester at Humber. Our students, Andrey, Aneri and Sean share their experiences on a wide range of topics such as their learning expectations, culture and identity and faculty and mentorship. We recorded their experiences and then shared them with a panel leaders from the Humber community who reflected on what the students had to say.

Postsecondary educators, both in Canada and around the world, are often quick to bisect student populations into “domestic” and “international” segments. While that may be a convenient metric to use in a variety of situations, the result often causes minds to think in very homogenous terms with respect to the thousands of students we host from around the world on our campuses. Global Student Voices was made in reaction to that – we hear from actual international students about their experiences both in and out of the classroom. Through this process, we hear many familiar refrains, about teaching, learning, technology, family, finances and a litany of others. It’s our hope that this series will bring pause to those that are quick to divide our students into a separate “bucket”, and to realize that a student is a student, regardless of the passport they are carrying in their knapsack.

Global Student Voices is available on Apple iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher and Google Podcast.
