Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 defines how to make web content more accessible to people with disabilities. Accessibility involves a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities. The Information & Communication Standards under AODA requires current Humber websites to conform to WCAG 2.0 level A and subsequently level AA by 2021.
Web accessibility is about everyone being able to access Humber's websites successfully, including people using handheld devices, Web TV and in-car browsers.
The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity has developed a WCAG 2.0 level A and level AA Checklist to support Humber’s web developers and website content providers.

Employment Equity Program at Humber
Humber College is committed to principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. To learn more about Humber’s Employment Equity Program (EEP), please visit the Centre website.
Thank you to everyone who has completed Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire. The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity appreciates your help in building a more inclusive Humber!
The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity invites all full-time, part-time, contract and sessional employees to complete the Employment Equity Questionnaire (EEQ). The information that you provide in the Employment Equity Questionnaire 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 will allow the College to identify where underrepresentation exists, and to target its efforts toward removing barriers that may exist in the College’s employment systems.
Please note - the completion of Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire is voluntary.

Dear colleagues,
Please see the research study notice below for information pertaining to a research study we are conducting throughout the fall semester at the University of Guelph-Humber. We would greatly appreciate your assistance in providing this information to interested members of faculty and staff. Please feel free to inform students about this opportunity too. All are welcome to participate.
Research study notice:
Dr. Adam Sandford’s research team is looking for participants in their research project that examines whether face-shape information supports recognition of faces. Participants will be tasked with recognizing faces under varying viewing conditions. This investigation will inform theoretical and practical discussions about underlying mechanisms and processes used in face recognition. In under one hour, participants of this study will each receive a $20 gift card for their contributions to our scientific investigation. More details about this study will be emailed to interested students and members of faculty and staff. These details are provided in an information letter, which will be attached to our email responses. Please note that the first study is taking place at the University of Guelph-Humber on Humber College's North Campus.
For study details, please contact Dr. Sandford at adam.sandford@guelphhumber.ca. Thank you in advance for your interest.
