Humber Residence Continues to Provide Temporary Housing for Refugee Claimants

When:
June 15, 2018

As previously communicated, Humber is working with the City of Toronto to house approximately 400 refugee claimants at our North Campus residence. These individuals and families continue to arrive daily and we have welcomed about half of those who are expected.   

As we have seen often at Humber, our community comes together in times of need. Thank you for the overall support and many offers to help. The Red Cross and the City of Toronto are facilitating services and supports for the refugee claimants. We will let you know if and when there are opportunities for members of the Humber community to provide assistance as part of their role here or drawing on their personal expertise.

We are also continuing to welcome other groups and individuals to residence over the summer. Conference Services regularly rents residence rooms at this time of year for various events, conferences and activities. The revenue from these rentals helps to offset the cost of residence for students.

Humber’s contractual agreement with the City of Toronto runs until August 9.

Please contact Susan Miller by email or at x77202 if you have any questions or would like more information.

Murray Horowitz - Retirement
View in full page
When:
June 15, 2018

The Business School would like to bid a very fond farewell to Murray Horowitz M.A. LL.B. as he retires at the end of this academic year.

Murray began teaching at Humber in 1989 on a contract basis and was then hired full-time as a law professor in 1993. Murray dedicated his life to teaching our students about the importance of law in business. Murray also served as the CE program law coordinator ensuring that mature students were supported while working full-time. In 2002, Murray taught business law to the first Guelph-Humber business administration cohort. He was a teaching pioneer, having taught the first degree level students at Humber. Many thousands of students have benefited from his exceptional dedication to student success and many faculty have been mentored under his guidance and leadership. Murray had a unique way of presenting materials to the class, he wrote “Aphorisms and Anecdotes” experiences in teaching and learning. Our favourite memory of Murray was our first trip to the Department of Justice where we secured our 15 year partnership. We will always remember Murray as a dedicated, soft spoken, gentle and passionate faculty in the business school.

On behalf of the Humber community and the Business School, we wish you all the best in your retirement years. Enjoy travelling with your wife and family.

Humber Libraries is delighted to announce that Alexandra Ross is the successful candidate for the role of Associate Director with our department. Alexandra will be based at the Lakeshore campus where she will provide administrative and operational leadership for the Library and Learning Commons. Alexandra will also be championing various strategic and service initiatives with impact across all three of Humber’s campuses. Her portfolio will include the Library functions of research and digital literacies, copyright, communications, assessment as well as developing and implementing the Library’s strategy with respect to institutional learning objectives. Alexandra will officially start her new position on June 18 and she will transition to Lakeshore sometime this summer.

Alexandra has been with Humber since 2009 when she joined us a Business Librarian. While she initially had responsibilities on all three campuses, Business School growth shifted Alexandra’s focus to Lakeshore’s business students and faculty. Alexandra has also been the Lakeshore Library and Learning Commons Coordinator, the Library’s Interim Director and most recently the Advisor on Library Special Projects. In addition to her library experience, Alexandra has worked in executive search and public relations.
