It is my great pleasure to announce the appointment of Vera Beletzan as Humber’s incoming Senior Dean for the new Faculty of LAS (Liberal Arts and Sciences) and Innovative Learning.

The College part-time support staff have ratified the first collective agreement for part-time support staff in Ontario’s 24 colleges.

This is a two-year agreement that provides fair terms and conditions for part-time workers who play an important role at Humber College. It also recognizes that a large number of our part-time workers are current students and ensures they can continue to access part-time opportunities during their time at college. These job opportunities provide income and valuable experience to students, helping jump-start their careers.

You will be provided with the details of the agreement once it becomes available. Over the coming weeks and months, HR Client Services will be working with management across the College in implementing the new agreement.
