The Humber IELTS Test Centre has partnered with Cambrian College in Sudbury and will begin IELTS Testing on March 23, 2019. Academic and General testing will occur once a month at the Cambrian Test Venue. 

At present there is only IELTS Testing in Barrie and Thunder Bay, so the new Humber IELTS Testing Venue in Sudbury will make it more convenient for those living in mid to Northern Ontario. It will also establish Humber as the sole provider of IELTS in this area of the province. 

For Cambrian IELTS Testing information, please visit humber.ca/ielts/cambrian.

Thank you all for your engagement and feedback.

The Centre is pleased to announce the official launch of the revised Human Rights Policy and Human Rights Complaint Resolution Procedure. You can access the documents at:

I am pleased to announce that Dr. Joanna Amirault is the successful candidate for the role of Associate Dean in the School of Social and Community Services. Joanna joined Humber in 2014, taking on the role of program coordinator for the Bachelor of Social Science, Criminal Justice in 2016. She has consistently been among the top teaching faculty in the school, providing mentorship to both students and faculty since she began. 

Joanna holds an Honours B.A. from Queen’s University in Global Development Studies and an M.A. and PhD from the School of Criminology at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia. During her studies, Joanna was awarded a wide range of scholarships, awards and grants, including the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Doctoral Scholarship Award. Her passion and commitment to her field is exemplified through her research focusing on criminal and social justice, with evidence of her scholarship found in her record of accomplishment of publications and presentations.  

Joanna will help our new Faculty realize our polytechnic vision through applying social innovation to the range of issues our community partners encounter. Her work with community partners such as the Toronto Police Services is an example of applied research that will impact entire neighbourhoods across the city.

Joanna’s commitment to Humber is exemplified by her membership on the Applied Research Working Group, the Cultivate Peer Review Committee, and the Interprofessional Education Workshop committee in SSCS. She has also led numerous international projects with academic partners that have helped the school contribute to the Internationalization strategy. 

Those who work closest with Joanna know her as a strong advocate for students, faculty, and partners. We are fortunate that her impact will extend as she assumes her new role. 

Please join me in welcoming Joanna to the role of Associate Dean in the School of Social and Community Services. She will be located in D206 at the Lakeshore Campus if you plan to welcome her in person. 

Sincerely,

Derek

It is with mixed emotions that I write to share the news that Shari Walsh, currently the Manager, Transition & Leadership Programs in Student Success & Engagement, will be leaving Humber on March 1, 2019 to take on the role of Associate Director, Student Engagement, Academic Advising & Career Services at Niagara College. 

In over six years of service here at Humber, Shari has contributed to various service and program areas in Student Success & Engagement including Residence Life and Student Life. Shari has played a significant lead role in advancing new models of service for Orientation, off-campus student support, leadership development programming and of course, the Co-Curricular Record. During her tenure, all of those program areas have seen incredible growth in the levels of student engagement and demonstrated measurable impact on key student success outcomes. More recently, Shari has taken on responsibility for some key strategic projects including the alignment of the CCR competencies with the evolving ILO framework, co-chairing the SEM Working Group looking at employment outcomes for our students with disabilities, leading SSE’s initiatives under the Career Ready Fund, and last but not least, the review and enhancements to our Work Study program. In all that she did, Shari showed intentionality, commitment and a true passion for delivering a quality experience for our students. 

Please join us at the North Campus Student Life Office on Wednesday, February 27 between 1 and 2 p.m. for an informal gathering in Shari's honour.
