The Community Integration through Cooperative Education (CICE) Program's student council is helping to promote World Down Syndrome Awareness Day on Thursday, March 21, 2019.

World Down Syndrome Day is a global awareness day which encourages our friends all over the world to choose their own activities and events to help raise awareness of what Down Syndrome is, what it means to have Down Syndrome, and how people with Down Syndrome play a vital role in our lives and communities.

On this day, we enourage everyone to wear their wildest socks to Humber College, and show their support for people with Down syndrome.

On the latest episode of the NEXTcast podcast (available free on Soundcloud and iTunes), we speak with Humber English professors Sarah Feldbloom and Leanne Milech about using multimodal texts as teaching tools.

Leanne and Sarah explain how incorporating multimodal texts into teaching practice can increase student success and engagement, and share the organic process behind their ongoing TIF-supported research.

"I have a background in film, that's what I did for my undergrad, and when I came to teaching, immediately I noticed in my first WRIT 100 class that there was some resistance and some reluctance to the material. My instinct was, 'How can I engage these students?'" - Leanne Milech

Listen to the episode or read the transcript here.

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.

To suggest a future guest or topic, email Humber Press at humberpress@humber.ca.

This 25-panel exhibition aims to raise awareness of the vital role of human rights education in promoting dignity, equality and peace and in preventing human rights violations and abuses. It presents the importance of human rights and human rights education through case studies where human rights education has transformed values, beliefs and attitudes of individuals and groups, leading to positive initiatives to promote human rights in diverse communities in Australia, Burkina Faso, Peru, Portugal and Turkey. It also encourages viewers to take action in their own immediate environment, starting from their own families and communities.

The exhibit was created in 2016 by the Soka Gakkai International, together with HRE 2020, the NGO Working Group on Human Rights Education and Learning and the Platform for Human Rights Education and Training.

It is with mixed emotions that I announce that Tracy Fattore, Associate Vice President, Legal and Risk Management has accepted the role of Chief Risk Officer with the Governing Council of The Salvation Army of Canada and Bermuda. We are saddened to see Tracy leave, but excited for this new opportunity in her career, as we will certainly miss her passion, tireless commitment and dedication to Humber.

Since Tracy joined the College in 2013, she has been a valuable and well-respected resource in advising the Executive team, including in her role as Co-chair of the Executive Advisory Council. Tracy envisioned and managed great change throughout the College by successfully creating and expanding the Legal and Risk Management department, which reviewed more than 670 contracts in 2018 in addition to managing other legal, risk, privacy, policy, and insurance matters.

Among Tracy’s many contributions to the College, she championed the development and implementation of the Integrated Risk Management Framework, Business Continuity and Emergency Response Planning and the Policy and Procedures Framework, for which Tracy led the creation and deployment of the College’s Anti-Spam Legislation and Signing Authority policies.

Tracy also supported the College in her role as Chief Privacy Officer, which included responding to Freedom of Information requests, developing and implementing privacy practices, incident reporting processes, and the development of a College-wide Record Retention Schedule.

The College will continue to benefit from the hard work and contributions made by Tracy for years to come. Tracy’s last day will be Friday, April 5, 2019. We will be hosting a formal farewell for Tracy. Details to follow.

On behalf of the HR team, we wish to congratulate Tracy on her new role and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

 Vice President, Human Resources and Organizational Effectiveness
