The Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation (CTI) is the first of Humber’s three Centres of Innovation to be housed in a stand-alone facility. The CTI is a $57 million 93,000 square foot facility at North Campus. There will be many opportunities and events for staff to participate in leading up to the grand opening on January 2019.

The CTI has digital activity zones rather than traditional labs or classrooms, yet it is still tightly connected to academic learning. Skills training and applied research that will occur in the CTI will build on Humber’s expertise in automation and robotics, systems integration, advanced manufacturing and design, augmented and virtual reality and user experience testing.

Featuring specialized areas such as multimedia and design studios, open and flexible creative spaces, a digital visualization room and interactive makerspaces, along with state-of-the-art software and equipment, the CTI’s approach will reduce R&D costs and risks, making it easier for companies to pursue ideas and technological advancements.

As a place of experiential learning, students can work onsite directly with industry partners’ engineers and product development teams in a live applied research environment. Further, as the Skills Varsity training hub, the CTI will be the preparation ground for Humber’s alumni and skills teams to compete in local, national and international competitions

Here is a list of upcoming events:

August 27, 2018 Chris Whitaker will share more information on how employees can get involved at the President's Breakfast
November 17, 2018 Tours and demos of CTI will be available during Fall Open House
January 24, 2019 Grand Opening

I would like to invite the entire Humber community to join me in congratulating Dr. Paula Gouveia on her recent appointment as Vice-President Academic at Cambrian College in Sudbury, Ontario. It is with very mixed emotions that I announce that Paula will be leaving Humber in mid-August to pursue this wonderful and well-deserved opportunity. Paula has been a dedicated member of the Humber family for over nine years, and in that time she has had a profound impact on Humber. We are sad to see her leave us, but thrilled for her as she embarks on this new adventure. 

Paula's last day at Humber will be on August 8, at which time Vera Beletzan will take on the role of Acting Dean. Vera brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to this role as the Associate Dean of English in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and most recently as Senior Special Advisor on Essential Skills leading Humber’s Essential Skills strategy and the development of Humber’s Institutional Learning Outcomes framework. Her past experience in this area includes a leadership role in the development of the Competencies Framework for Humber’s Co-Curricular Record. Vera will continue to lead the Institutional Learning Outcomes project during her time as Acting Dean. I want to take this opportunity to thank Vera for agreeing to take on this role during the transition phase as we work to engage the search process for the next Dean of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences in the Fall. 

Paula, I have truly enjoyed working with you over the last few years and will greatly miss having you as part of the Academic Leadership team. I also know that after nine years of dedicated service and numerous amazing contributions, you will be missed on many levels at Humber.

Sincerely,
Laurie Rancourt
Senior VP Academic
