The test has been cancelled. Please ignore this message.

As part of the final stage to have the air conditioning functioning in NX building at North Campus, BIRD will conduct a pressurization test on the new refrigeration lines feeding the new fan coils. This is the last step before connecting it to the new condensers.

This procedure is scheduled for Friday, May 17 and might take all day. For safety reasons, the NX building must be empty during the test and no staff members are to be inside, unless authorized by BIRD.

Apologies for any inconvenience as we undertake this necessary process to have the A/C back to normal. Please feel free to reach out to Rui Raposo at rui.raposo@humber.ca if you have any questions.

June 10 to 14 is Humber Employee Appreciation Week.

There will be campus-wide events, networking opportunities and food!

The overarching themes of the week are appreciation, gratitude and personal connection.

Faculties and departments can organize activities and events related to the themes of appreciation, gratitude and personal connection to engage their teams in their own way. 

Ideas for Faculty and Department activities will be coming soon…

Celebrating and appreciating all employees, Humber’s Organizational Effectiveness/HR Services will host events on two of the days at both North and Lakeshore campuses!

The University of Guelph (U of G) and the Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning (Humber) are beginning a year-long process to develop a new strategic plan for their ongoing partnership and for the University of Guelph-Humber (U of GH).

The new strategic plan will provide a framework for continued innovation of the U of G and Humber partnership.

U of G and Humber entered into an agreement in 1999 to establish U of GH, and the governing framework has not been modified since that time.

U of GH has been held up as a model of innovative education and a collaborative venture since its inception. The work and dedication of those involved in the partnership has been integral to that success.

The new strategic plan will build on that foundation and position U of GH for the future. It will reflect the changes facing higher education in Ontario; specifically, student demands, technology, emergent opportunities in the labour market, public policy and funding.

The process will also be informed by the operational, academic and service agreement reviews that have taken place at our institutions during the past two years.

The strategic planning process will be co-chaired by Daniel Atlin, U of G’s Vice-President, External, and Rani Dhaliwal, Humber’s Senior Vice-President, Transformation and Strategic Partnerships.

We will share information in the coming weeks about the process and plans for engaging with students, faculty, staff and external stakeholders.

Sincerely,

Franco Vaccarino
President, University of Guelph

Chris Whitaker
President, Humber College
