I am delighted to announce the appointment of Elijah Williams as the Acting Dean of Indigenous Education & Engagement (IE&E), effective January 8, 2024. Elijah will seamlessly transition into this new role while concurrently maintaining his current position as Associate Dean, IE&E.

In his new role, Elijah will play a pivotal role in fostering a culture of innovation through the development of specialized support service programs, engaging with internal and external stakeholders, and implementing strategic initiatives. Additionally, he will focus on advancing Humber College's Indigenous education plan and commitment to truth and reconciliation.

Elijah's responsibilities will align with the mandates of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and the recommendations of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. 

Since September 2022, Elijah has served as the Associate Dean of Indigenous Education & Engagement at Humber College. In this capacity, he has collaborated closely with Program Planning, Development and Renewal, and Innovative Learning. Elijah has been instrumental in raising awareness, promoting teamwork, and establishing open communication channels to bolster educational initiatives. His efforts have significantly contributed to the expansion and enhancement of Indigenous programming, methodology, research, practice, and delivery.

Prior to his role at Humber, Elijah was the Director of Indigenous Engagement and led the Centre for Indigenous Learning and Support at Sheridan College. There, he oversaw the development of Sheridan’s Babamadiwin, Indigenous Start Well program, an online initiative designed to help Indigenous learners navigate the college's supports and services. Elijah also played a key role in creating Sheridan’s Looking Forward, Look Back Education Series, providing foundational knowledge about Indigenous peoples to faculty and staff.

Elijah's commitment to Indigenous education is further demonstrated by his Master of Professional Education in Indigenous Educational Leadership from Western University.

Please join me in extending our congratulations to Elijah as he takes on this significant role. We look forward to the positive impact he will undoubtedly make in advancing Indigenous education and engagement at Humber College.

Humber strives to create an inclusive, supportive environment for all people. It is our responsibility to extend this commitment to inclusion into every text and publication. To meet this commitment, the College developed its Inclusive Language Guide and has committed to updating the guide annually and the latest version has now been released.

The guide is meant to provide a high-level overview of inclusive language and highlight terminology not to be used. It is not intended to be an exhaustive list.

Readers are encouraged to do their own research as part of reconciliation and ongoing equity, diversity and inclusion education and resources have been included to help with this.

The Inclusive Language Guide can be found on Humber’s Brand Resources Page under the Communications and Media Relations drop-down menu.

All full-time and non-full-time employees are invited to complete the Employment Equity Questionnaire (EEQ).

Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber are committed to workplace equity, diversity and inclusion. Employment Equity is a term used in Canada to describe a process for achieving equality in all aspects of employment. Humber complies voluntarily with the Employment Equity Act under the Federal Contractors Program.

The information that you provide in the EEQ will be kept confidential and will only be reported in aggregate form for Employment Equity purposes. In other words, the reported data will not contain any personal identification.

Having up-to-date knowledge of our workforce representation is essential in accurately identifying where underrepresentation exists and allows for targeted efforts toward removing barriers and addressing that underrepresentation.

The Goal of Employment Equity is to:

  • Eliminate employment barriers for the designated groups: Indigenous people, women, persons with disabilities, and members of racialized groups. At Humber, we provide individuals with the opportunity to identify their sexual orientation and gender identity;
  • Remedy past discrimination in employment opportunities and prevent future barriers;
  • Improve access and distribution throughout all occupations and at all levels for members of the identified groups; and
  • Foster a climate of equity and inclusion.

View more information on the People(s) and Culture webpage.

Please note: the completion of Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire is voluntary.

How can I access the Employment Equity Questionnaire?

Employees can access the EEQ directly in the HRMS by following the steps below:

  • Go to http://hrs.humber.ca
  • Click on HRMS Sign In
  • Enter your Humber credentials to sign in
  • Click on Personal Information
  • Click on Personal Details
  • Expand the section titled Biographical Info
  • Click on the pencil icon to add/update your responses to the EEQ
  • The steps are also listed in the HRMS Knowledge Base website titled View and Update Personal Information.

If you require the EEQ in an alternate format or have any questions, please contact humanrights@humber.ca.

Thank you for helping to build a more inclusive Humber and UGH.
