As we continue to work and learn at home, it’s important to stay connected to our colleagues and our community. To help keep us all connected, we created the #HumberAtHome series. We want to know about how you are taking care of your well-being right now, how your teams are adding a bit of fun into your interactions, and which resources are helping you.  

Here are some examples of what members of the Humber community are doing to bring their community together:

The Industrial Design degree program at Humber is excited to present their first Virtual Thesis Show. Graduating students prevailed over the challenges due to the COVID19 pandemic and successfully completed their thesis/capstone projects. This year, due to the need for physical distancing, students are showcasing their final-year thesis projects in a Virtual Exhibition format.

This virtual event can be viewed here.

Projects displayed exhibit a diverse range of design solutions in categories such as: Automotive and Transportation Design; Commercial and Industrial Equipment; Medical, Health and Safety Products​ and finally Recreation and Sports Equipment.

The annual Thesis Show is a yearly event at which successful students get the opportunity to display their projects to their colleagues, the design community, and the media. Last year's event at the Ontario Science Centre was well attended by more than 400 people including design professionals from over 20 industrial design firms in Ontario.

Congratulations to all the capstone students for excellent work and adaptation from a physical Thesis Show to a virtual online Thesis Show. Thanks to capstone faculty, Dennis Kappen, Catherine Chong and Sandro Zaccolo, who stepped up and proposed this idea for a Virtual Thesis Show. With the support of Carl Oliver, the Associate Dean, and the Senior Dean of FAST, Dr. Farzad Rayegani, they worked alongside Black Cat Communications Ltd on a very short time-line to organize this event.  

This year's event will continue to bring the design community together as we present a new generation of Canadian designers through a virtual exhibition.

As we prepare for the start of classes next week, we want students to know that we are committed to their success. For the first time we will be offering the entire Summer Term online. While this will be a new experience for all of us, what hasn’t changed are the values that shape how we teach and learn together.

Humber's commitment to students in the summer term has now been shared with students. Find the full commitment here: humber.ca/updates/student-commitment.
