The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity invites your participation in a focus group to provide feedback on the recently revised Gender Identity Policy.

Regular review of the policy ensures that Humber's policy and procedures reflect current legislative changes and strengthens Humber’s early intervention processes. Most importantly, a review of Humber’s Gender Identity Policy provides the Centre with an opportunity to hear directly from you!

The focus groups will take place from 12 noon to 1 p.m. in B202 at the North Campus on August 7, 2019 and in L3015 at the Lakeshore Campus from 12 noon to 1 p.m. on August 8, 2019. Lunch will be provided.

To register for one of the sessions, email Zareena Khan at zareena.khan@humber.ca to confirm your attendance.

The draft Gender Identity Policy is attached.

Do you want to supplement your course work with additional resources? Are you looking to add content to existing student training and development sessions? Did you know that you can request a leadership skills development workshop brought to you by Student Leadership Programs?

The Workshop by Request Program allows staff and faculty to easily request leadership workshops to be facilitated in the classroom or during student training sessions by a professional staff member. Workshops will be facilitated by the Leadership Programs Coordinator and can be requested for daytime as well as some evening sessions. The standard workshop length is approximately 60-75 minutes, however, length can be adjusted within reason based on customization requests.

We are excited to collaborate with the Office of Sustainability with their training on creating a culture of sustainability and the Office of Student Conduct with their Bringing in the Bystander workshop.  

Staff and faculty can select from the list of available workshop offerings, including:

• Goal Setting
• Group Leadership
• Professionalism
• Understanding Conflict
• Bringing in the Bystander
• Sustainability

Not sure if the workshop fits your curriculum or training goals? Staff and faculty can also request customization of an already offered workshop in order to best meet students’ learning needs.

For more information, visit our webpage or email us at studentleadershipacademy@humber.ca.
