Sharing Knowledge
Humber College is committed to fostering a respectful and inclusive culture in which all members of the College community study, work and live free from discrimination and harassment. To this end, it is imperative that we understand the definition of key equity terms that will enrich our capacity to prevent all forms of harassment and discrimination. Over the summer months, the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity will be providing definitions of key terms pertinent to our work in building a more inclusive College.

A lot has happened in the past few months and we have had some time to reflect as a team. We are even more committed to our long-term goals, which will shape a healthy, inclusive, diverse and sustainable community.
We still have a lot of work to do, and many new challenges ahead of us, but we are proud of the progress that the Humber community has made and our team will continue to place empathy, compassion and humility at the centre of everything we do.

Buckle up to experience the Lakeshore Grounds like never before!
The Lakeshore Grounds Interpretive Centre has been busy creating a new Summer Soundscape Series in which we take you back in time to experience the Lakeshore Grounds of yesteryear. Every few weeks we will be dropping a self-guided soundscape tour to help you envision what the area looked and sounded like at different times. You can either download an audio file and map to take with you on a journey around the grounds or watch a video version featuring archival and contemporary photos from the comfort of your own home.
Our first soundscape is already live: Step back to 1969 and explore a day as a Lakeshore Teachers' College student!
Files are available on our website at lakeshoregrounds.ca/soundscapes.
To Faculty/Department leads,
As limited numbers of staff and students return to campus, we ask that you please let Facilities know if you are going to have staff on campus, either at North Campus or Lakeshore Campus.
Email daniel.alonzo@humber.ca with location information and duration, so we can ensure that the building HVAC systems are on.

The inaugural INSIGHT Into Diversity Inspiring Affinity Group Award recognizes 38 member groups that have made a significant impact on their members, campuses, and communities. Campus organizations that offer employees opportunities for social and professional networking, peer mentoring, and more are typically referred to as employee resource groups (ERGs) or affinity groups.
Humber's African/Black Affinity Group and LGBTQ+ Affinity Group provide an atmosphere that fosters growth and development for members and promotes diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus. Each organization assists in the recruitment, retention, and advancement of underrepresented employees as well as provides opportunities for community engagement and outreach.

On March 31, 2020, Humber surveyed its students to assess how COVID-19 was impacting them. Students reported high stress related to:
International students and those older than 25 years were disproportionately affected. This research finding is consistent with college’s and Ignite’s Emergency Financial Relief Fund awards disbursed in the winter and summer of 2020, which saw proportionately more of this population receive funding to meet basic needs than their domestic counterparts and those younger than 25 years.
A previous study of the impact of Humber’s financial aid program on student success found that financial assistance positively affected retention, and students who received financial aid had higher GPAs than those that did not.
The analysis is available in this new one page brief. For more information, please contact Abhinandhan Raghu.
This publication is the latest in IPA’s Insights series which supports institutional data literacy and the establishment of a common understanding about important institutional issues and topics related to Humber’s strategic priorities.
