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

On the latest episode of the NEXTcast podcast, available free on Soundcloud and iTunes, we speak with Applied Tech professor Mark Rector about his new book, Oh Canada! Our Home and Inventive Land.

Mark was inspired to write his book after noticing he had a growing collection of handouts on Canadian inventions for distribution in his electronics engineering classes. The supplementary material about the history of often little-known inventions resonated with students, and the rest is history.   

“I wanted a way to inspire the students, and interest them. When I was a little kid, I heard a story about Alexander Graham Bell, a Canadian who invented the telephone, and I was fascinated. I’m sure that played into my electronics interest.” – Mark Rector

NEXTcast is a podcast about teaching and learning at Humber College, created by Humber Press and The Centre for Teaching & Learning. New episodes go up on Soundcloud and iTunes every second week.

Thanks to the more than 600 people who participated in the Digital Campus survey last month. In fewer than 10 questions, respondents outlined their vision for a campus that identified digital approaches that would shape their experiences at Humber. Some of those suggestions included the introduction of emerging technologies into their teaching and learning experiences while others focused on improving day-to-day interactions with Humber, both on and off campus.

As part of the survey, respondents who provided their email addresses were entered into a draw for an iPad or one of several gift cards. The Co-Chairs of the Technology Information Management Steering Committee Scott Briggs, Chief Information Officer, and Gina Antonacci, Associate Vice President, Academic, were on site to hand out prizes to the lucky winners. The Co-Chairs took a moment to recognize and thank the winners for their contributions. The winner of the iPad is Mridul Vij (3D Modeling and Visual Effects) and he is joined in the photograph by one of the gift card winners – D. Merkley (staff Campus Services). Other winners not in attendance for the photograph are Simardeep Singh (Global Business Management), Ashley Freiheit (Fashion Management) and Sabrina Dias. Thank you again to all who responded to the survey.

Stay tuned for more information about Humber’s journey toward building a Digital Campus.
