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.

Please complete Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire

Humber College is committed to principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The Employment Equity Act was passed in 1986. Recognizing that "systemic discrimination" was responsible for most of the inequality found in employment, the Abella Royal Commission on Equality in Employment outlined a systemic response and chose the term "Employment Equity" to describe the process.

To learn more about Humber’s Employment Equity program, please visit the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity website.

The Centre invites all full-time, part-time, contract and sessional employees to complete the Employment Equity Questionnaire. 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.

All Humber employees’ participation is important.

How can I access the Employment Equity Questionnaire?

  • Hard copies of the Employment Equity Questionnaire are being distributed to employee mailboxes. Please return the completed questionnaire using the included addressed envelope.
  • The Employment Equity Questionnaire (PDF) is also attached to this communique (below). The Employment Equity Questionnaire (PDF) can also be accessed on the Centre’s website. Please return the completed questionnaire to The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity, 5th floor LRC North Campus, or you can scan the completed questionnaire and email to Bharat Saini, Advisor, Human Rights, Equity & Diversity, at bharat.saini@humber.ca.

If you require the Employment Equity Questionnaire in an accessible format, please contact Bharat Saini at 416.665.6622 x5160 or bharat.saini@humber.ca.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity thanks you for helping to build a more inclusive Humber.
