Over the past year, the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity (the Centre) engaged the Humber College community in a participatory and consultative process to obtain feedback on Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Human Rights Complaint Resolution Procedure. 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:

Humber is committed to fostering an equitable, diverse and inclusive culture in which all members of the College community study, work and live free from discrimination and harassment. The College has the legal and moral responsibility to ensure that it provides a learning, working and living environment free from discrimination and harassment. Humber’s Human Rights Policy applies to all members of the Humber and University of Guelph-Humber community.

Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedure are reviewed during the Pathways to Human Rights, Education and Action training session.

The Creativity in Business (CiB) Program is a Standford-inspired pilot program that is only offered at Humber College facilitated by Applied Research and hosted by the Centre for Entrepreneurship (CfE). To register, go to humber.ca/cfe/programs.

Why should students be interested?
In an era of deep change and fierce competition for markets and employees, 21st century leaders need tools to help them become more reflective and attentive. This ability to inspire is determined by your integrity of character (who you are, what you stand for, and how you act), your alignment of purpose and the presence of trust. Authenticity and integrity occur when you develop self-awareness through self-reflection together with the ability to pay attention to others (empathy) and the current operating context.

What will our students be getting?

  • An assessment that describes how they learn, use and develop their own creative capacity
  • Four Saturday workshops over a three-month period, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
  • An online reflective community to discuss their purpose, their leadership capacity and their future
  • CCR Accreditation
  • Lunch provided
  • Access to two simulation games using an experiential approach

Their commitment?
To come to all four workshops and participate. Workshops will focus on:

  • Finding their purpose
  • Developing them as leaders
  • Building their capacity for creative problem solving
  • Next Steps: In Creative Data Storytelling

Please promote this to all your students. The least we can do for their futures is to point them to the right direction.

Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) is pleased to announce that the next round of the SmartStart Seed Fund (SmartStart) program is now open.

The SmartStart program is designed to support new ventures led by Ontario’s next generation of entrepreneurs, to transition their start-ups from product development, to market entry and company building. The program provides up to $30,000 (to be matched 1:1 by the start-up) in seed funding and support for entrepreneurship skills training and professional advisory services, helping to grow the start-ups and make them investment- and customer-ready. The SmartStart program is delivered by OCE on behalf of the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario).

To ensure SmartStart supports only high-quality companies, applicants to the program must be endorsed by one of the following members of the ONE Network: a Regional Innovation Centre (RIC) funded by the Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade (MEDJCT), an OCE-funded Campus-Linked Accelerator (CLA), or an OCE-funded On-Campus Entrepreneurship Activities (OCEA) program recipient.

To this effect, please note that all potential SmartStart applicants will require an endorsement form from their RIC, CLA or OCEA before they can apply to the program. We are relying on the endorsers to vet potential applicants to ensure they fit both our required eligibility criteria and are suitable for the program.
 
Companies must be:

  • For-profit, based in a Southern Ontario census region, incorporated for less than four years, and have less than $250,000 in revenue and/or investment;
  • Actively engaged as a client for at least four months within the past 12 months, and/or recently accepted into a program involving a selection process (such as an accelerator, a bootcamp/pitch competition winner, recipient of an embedded executive, etc.) with your RIC, CLA or OCEA organization;
  • Additionally, companies should meet the following suitability criteria: have a team of two or more people, be developing a disruptive, technology-based, scalable business focused on a fast-growing or new market, have a minimum-viable product (MVP), and can articulate a product-market fit and sales process.

The Humber CfE will be your endorser so please contact Humber CfE (cfe@humber.ca) once you have completed the Eligibility Questionaire. Deadline to submit an Eligibility Questionnaire: February 1, 2019, 11:59 p.m. ET.

We have temporarily closed the LRC north east entrance (leading to the bus loop).

This closure is due to the extreme cold coming through the steadily opened doors caused by high pedestrian traffic volume, allowing the wind to push frigid air right into the centre of the first floor of the LRC.

We are asking students, staff and guests to please use the front LRC entrance for entering and exiting the building.

Facilities is assessing alternative long-term options to solve this problem.

Thank you,

Humber Facilities
