The staff at both the North and Lakeshore Campus Stores would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that we are currently accepting book orders for the Fall 2018 semester. We respectfully request that you submit your requests as soon as possilbe. Receiving your list of required course materials allows us to source all available options (new, used, print, digital, etc.) for incoming students, as well as provide the optimum value to students who are selling books. Timely submission of requests ensures that we have plenty of time to source and order all of your materials before the start of Fall classes. Currently, we have received 30% of the requests at Lakeshore Campus and 40 per cent at North Campus.

Over the past decade publishers have implemented a wide variety of delivery options for their course materials. Each version has its own unique ISBN as an identifier. The Campus Store has the ability to provide all options for the majority of materials requested

• Print textbooks (hardcover, soft cover and loose leaf)
• Custom textbooks (reduced chapters or combination of multiple texts into a single volume)
• Bundles - two or more print components, or a print version with a code to access online content. Please let us know if the online content is required for your course or simply recommended. This will assist us in providing more price options for your students.
• Digital - PDF or Adaptive Learning version (i.e. MyLab, Connect, Wiley Plus, etc.)

The School of Media Studies and Information Technology recently concluded another successful Social Media Summer Program, a collaborative initiative with Business Academy Aarhus (BAAA), one of our partner institutions in Denmark. From July 9-20, students from BAAA and Humber shared a classroom at Lakeshore Campus. This year we also welcomed a student from Sinclair Community College in the United States.

In this innovative course, taught by faculty from both Humber and BAAA, students discovered how to create relevant and meaningful social media content, and apply effective communication strategies across various platforms. The course included exclusive visits at Microsoft and Shopify, various industry guest speakers, and concluded with students presenting pitch projects to a real Toronto client, Flarian. “Social media is changing all the time. I’m glad to be a part of the evolution!” said one Humber student.

Beyond the classroom, the students built meaningful relationships, expanded their international network, and appreciated the opportunity to learn in such a culturally diverse group of people. They all walk away from this experience with a new, global perspective on social media.

Schuyler Esen from Sinclair Community College warmly reflected on her experience: “This time in Toronto was such an eye opening experience for me as a student and as an American, and I will cherish the lessons I’ve learned both in and out of the classroom for the rest of my life.”
