Congratulations to Gayle Kennedy on her retirement from Humber College, effective after this Friday, June 30.

Gayle joined Humber in 2003 as Secretary of the Transportation Training Centre. In 2012 she moved into a similar role with the Sailing & Powerboating Centre and in 2016, Gayle joined the School of Applied Technology as Receptionist supporting CE and Work Placement Services.

Colleagues and students alike will miss Gayle’s pleasant and personable nature around the office, not to mention her rather contagious sense of humour. Gayle is looking forward to spending more time with family, lounging by the pool, and gardening this summer and kicking off the fall with a trip to the East Coast.  

We wish Gayle an enjoyable future ahead in this next phase of her life!

2018 Humber Golf Classic

Despite stormy skies, more than $176,000 was raised for student awards and scholarships on Monday, June 4, 2018, at Humber’s signature event, the Humber Golf Classic - the tournament's most successful year to date.

Presented by Bird Construction, the event once again took place at The Club at Bond Head. More than 200 golfers, consisting of sponsors, employees and supporters were in attendance, picking up their clubs and supporting our students. With the funds from this year included, the Humber Golf Classic has now raised a total of more than $675,000 for our students since launching in 2013.

One such student is Jeremy Logan, a second-year radio broadcasting student, swing announcer for 96.9 Radio Humber and emcee for the night's dinner reception. "Thanks to the generous support of Humber donors like all of you in the room tonight, students like myself no longer have to be afraid that our choices were made in error. We can be confident that there are people out there who are cheering us on and enabling us to pursue our passions."
