After months of hard work and dedication, the Legal and Risk Management team is excited to announce the launch of our brand new website. Our goal with this website is to create a place where members of the College community can go to get trusted, innovative, and professional services, advice and guidance on matters related to contract review, insurance, legal, risk management, privacy, policies and procedures and freedom of information requests. The website also provides information on who to contact if you have questions or need more information.
The new site is live as of April 3, 2019 and can be accessed at humber.ca/legal-and-risk-management.
We hope you enjoy our new website and find the information you are looking for.
Thank you,

In the last two weeks, we have celebrated three major award ceremonies - the Barrett Family Foundation Scholarship, the School of Applied Technology Awards and Scholarships and the CISCO Scholarships of Excellence.
I am privileged to have had the opportunity to see our students recognized by industry/community for their hard work and achievements.
To start us off, The Barrett Family Foundation scholarship awards on March 20 focused on the technology programs in the School of Applied Sciences and Technology.
Recognizing student academic achievement, involvement in extracurricular activities and academic performance, more than 140 entrance scholarships were awarded to students who entered our technology programs in fall 2018 and winter 2019.
Next, our school proudly hosted the School of Applied Technology 2018-2019 student award and scholarship event recognizing the academic achievements of our amazing students and the generous donors who help them pursue their dreams.
The highlights from the awards ceremonies included hearing directly from our students, Alister Lagman (Architectural Technology), Jessica Little (Electromechanical Engineering) and Christina Seeman (Electronics Engineering Technology).
Alister Lagman spoke gratefully of the support and recognition from the many donors who made these scholarships possible; and how he was ‘more confident about being on the right path’ in his career goals. As mature students, both Jessica and Christina spoke of the fulfillment of returning to school to pursue a new career path in engineering, thus increasing the presence of successful females in the industry.
It is with great pride that I take this opportunity to thank all the scholarship recipients for the tremendous effort they’ve put into their academic work. I wish them all the very best in their future endeavors.
Celebratory events like the ones we’ve just had are not possible without the vision of staff who work hard to create a seamless experience for guests, faculty and students alike. I would like to thank Jan Wojcik, Manager, Work Integrated Learning, colleagues from The Advancement and Alumni and photographer Lisa Sakulensky Photography.
In closing, I am reminded again that when students achieve the high level of academic success, it is equally accredited to the faculty and support staff who work hard behind the scenes ensuring our students receive a quality education, preparing them brilliantly for the workforce and giving them the opportunity to do great things for society with their skills and knowledge. To all of you, my heartfelt thanks!

The (re)Making of a Movement: New Perspectives on the 1960s Counterculture
Submission Deadline: May 30, 2019
Conference Date: October 26-27, 2019
Location: Harbourfront Centre, 235 Queens Quay West, Toronto, Canada.
Keynote speaker: Angela Davis – activist, author, educator, and scholar
It’s been 50 years since 400,000 people descended on Bethel, New York, for an event that became one of the most important cultural touchstones for a generation: Woodstock. As participants in an amorphous social movement the Woodstock Generation came to be defined in opposition to previous generations. Despite growing up in an era of incredible privilege, widespread government social programs, post-war housing and education, and increasing affluence, they rejected, or attempted to redefine traditional values. In theory, supporters of the counterculture rejected individualism, competition, and capitalism. Rejection of monogamy and the traditional nuclear family gave way to a communal ideal—disavowing individualism and private property in favour of shared food, work, sex. As historian Michael Doyle points out, the myth of Woodstock holds that “in a time of military conflict abroad, racial and ethnic strife at home, when a deep social division known as the ‘generation gap’ separated parents from children, nearly half a million young people removed themselves from proximity to these conflicts and went ‘back to the garden’ to try to ‘set their souls free’.” As such, Woodstock carries a certain symbolic weight for participants in the 1960s and 1970s counterculture movement and for anyone who looks back on the past fifty years with a critical eye.The counterculture movement encompassed: the Civil Rights Movement, Free Speech, the New Left, Anti-war, Anti-nuclear, Feminism, Free school movement, Drug Culture, Environmentalism, Student Activism, Producerism, Gay liberation, the Sexual Revolution, and the rise of Hippies to innovations in fashion, music, film, and literature. The American poet John Perry Barlow once said: “I started out as a teenage beatnik and then became a hippie and then became a cyberpunk. And now I’m still a member of the counterculture, but I don’t know what to call that.” How have the various movements within the counterculture evolved over the past 50 years? What did hippies become? Who was the Sexual Revolution scripted for? How did the Civil Rights movement evolve? How did a generation that “dropped out” re-engage? How was this fringe culture appropriated by marketers? How challenging was it to live an ideal especially in light of the Cold War and rise of Reaganism?
Our conference committee welcomes individual presentation proposals of 300 words, and panel proposals (3 people max) of 900 words, based on any of the above themes.
This will be the sixth annual interdisciplinary conference held by Humber College’s School of Liberal Arts and Sciences of Toronto in association with the Toronto International Festival of Authors (TIFA), one of the most celebrated literary festivals in the world. It is located at the Harbourfront Centre, one of downtown Toronto’s major cultural and artistic venues.
The Human Resource Management System (HRMS) will be going live in June 2019.
This project was initiated to replace and improve legacy HR processes and systems, with a fully-integrated cloud-based system, that can capably manage the entire employee lifecycle – from hire to retire.
Humber has pursued the implementation of the HRMS so that we may:
Over the coming weeks we will be reaching out with more details about our “Go Live” date, including information on training.
Stay Tuned!
Is there a community project that your school or department is interested in developing with a local community organization? Humber College schools/departments are invited to develop and submit proposals that can benefit local children, youth, Aboriginal Peoples and newcomers. If you have identified a need in the community, that your school or department has expertise in addressing, you can submit a proposal for funding through this initiative. Assistance is provided to develop your project concept and connect you with a relevant community agency (if you do not have one) to support you in the writing of your proposal.
The focus of your project concept should be to contribute, in some manner, to increased knowledge/training, exposure and/or access to postsecondary educational possibilities for the target groups listed above. These might include pathways into education, training and/or employment and/or building the organizational capacity of community agencies who share this same focus.
Humber student participation in projects is encouraged as this is an opportunity for them to build their co-curricular record. Their involvement would be an opportunity to deepen and apply theoretical knowledge. However it cannot be tied to grades for their academic program. Students could, for example, be involved as a mentor, volunteer or in a paid position
Email lynn.vanlieshout@humber.ca to receive funding applications and guidelines, and to discuss possible funding ideas, links to community partners and to refine concepts.
Submissions due: May 10, 2019
