Have you ever wanted to learn how to run or how to run more effectively? Come learn from one of our very best - Katelyn Morgan who was the Captain of Humber's Varsity Cross Country Team. She led the team to a 3rd place finish in the Provinicals and a chance at the Nationals.

The clinics will run every Tuesday and Thursday from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. beginning November 20 and ending on December 13. Come dressed to run outdoors. However, in severe inclement weather, the running will happen in the fitness centre.

Meet at the Atheltics Customer Service Desk at North Campus.

International Partnerships

Humber has several key international partnerships and associations. These range from institutional linkages to promoting student mobility, the joint delivery of programs and international development partnerships. For Humber our international partners are long-standing and are mutually beneficial.

The Nanjing Partnership

Inbound Global Learning Opportunities

In 2016, Humber’s School of Social and Community Services (SSCS) developed a joint program with the Nanjing Forest Police College, in Nanjing, China. Through this partnership, students in their second year at the Nanjing Forest Police College have the opportunity to complete one semester of their studies at Humber College. Taking courses in Crime Scene Investigation, Police Foundations, and English Language studies, students have the unique opportunity to expand their knowledge of basic crime scene investigation skills and techniques and are exposed to the Canadian justice and college system. Currently we have one intake of students per year. In fall 2017, the SSCS hosted the first group of 25 students and welcomed the second group of 25 students in September 2018. The SSCS and Nanjing Forest Police College are developing opportunities for a second intake in the Winter or Spring semester.

Outbound Global Learning Opportunities

In preparation for the arrival of the Nanjing students, a formal invitation was extended by the Nanjing Forest Police College to Humber for both students and faculty to travel to China to expose Humber students to the Chinese college system, China’s justice system and to provide opportunities for cultural discovery and exchange. In March 2018, 12 Humber students from the Police Foundations, Crime Scene Investigation and Protection, Security and Investigation programs traveled to Shanghai and Nanjing, China with SSCS faculty and administration. A second faculty-led trip to China is planned for March 2019.

Visiting Scholars

For the 2017/2018 academic year, the SSCS hosted two visiting scholars, Henry Ke and Iris Zhou, from the Nanjing Forest Police College. Currently, the SSCS is hosting a third visiting scholar, Lisa Zhang. Lisa will be conducting joint applied research with a focus on the differences between China and Canadian policing and postsecondary education. The SSCS and Nanjing Forest Police College are exploring further opportunities for collaborative research and knowledge exchange with faculty from both partner institutes.

Delegation Visit

On October 16 and 18, 2018, the SSCS hosted a delegation from the Nanjing Forest Police College which included their Vice President, Director of Human Resources, Director of Student Services and an English professor. In addition to discussing new learning opportunities and pathways for faculty and students, tours of the Toronto Police College and the Toronto Police Forensic Identification Services were arranged.

In partnership with the Centre for Teaching and Learning, the Connect program is a mentorship at Humber used to ease first-semester international students’ transition to a new culture, campus and community. The mentors, who are staff and faculty volunteers, begin to support registered students prior to arrival and their guidance will help them navigate the education system, access services and adapt to their new life in Canada. 

Dileeni Weerasinghe, coordinator for the faculty mentors of Connect and professor of the Business school at Humber College, shares her experience as a past mentor and the benefits of the program. “I came to Canada as an international student and knowing first-hand what a student feels, requires the need for smooth transition upon arrival. I have been a faculty mentor for the Connect program for almost five years. We help them with banking, how to find accommodation, a doctor, part-time job and learn the services offered at Humber. I joined this program as I saw this as a great opportunity for me to give back and to connect with students in order to help them grow.” 

Dileeni further explains that it’s beneficial for students because “they are overwhelmed by moving to another country, studying in another language and transitioning into a new system. Our program bridges the gap and helps their inclusivity into the Humber College community and makes many long-lasting friendships.”

Effective Tuesday, November 20, the Lot 1 access card readers and automated gates will be operational.

Full-time staff parking permit holders and part-time staff who have paid the upgrade to purchase a Lot 1 Fall semester parking permit will need to use their staff photo ID card at the card reader to both enter and exit the lot. 

Please continue to display your parking permit, as usual on your dash or rearview mirror.
