We are very pleased (SCSS), and also a little sad (SSE), to announce that Neil Price, currently Director of Student Life within Student Success & Engagement, will be joining the School of Social and Community Services in the position of Associate Dean.
Neil came to Humber in January, having taught for over 10 years at George Brown. Neil has extensive experience working as a program leader, community researcher and youth advocate. Passionate about access to post-secondary education, he has held management positions with Pathways to Education and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada. Neil’s pedagogical and subject matter expertise, his deep awareness of the multiple barriers that college students face, and his demonstrated ability to foster effective relationships across the college sector, will continue to be invaluable in his new role.
Neil holds a Master of Public Policy and Administration degree from Ryerson University, a Bachelor of Education from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), and a Bachelor of Arts in English and History from York University. He has led a number of programs focused on student retention, and has been an invited speaker provincially with the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development, as well as internationally with such organizations as the Mozilla Foundation.
Neil’s work embodies a deep commitment to learning, collaboration and facilitation. He is constantly in search of new ways to merge his interests in education, technology and community-building. His experience within student affairs at Humber will serve to continue the strong relationship between SSE and SSCS. Neil will transition roles in October, ensuring that our orientation and early transition programs are well underway. Please join us in congratulating Neil on this new position.

The following information is about our part-time TESL/TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) program leading to TESL Canada certification offered through CE in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Over the past few years faculty and staff from Math, Liberal Studies, French, English, GAS, Health Sciences, HRT and our Administration have taken the program and received TESL training qualifying for TESL Canada certification. With so many international students in our colleges and universities these days, TESL training is no longer just for ESL teachers. TESL training provides any instructor with a solid base in teaching methodology, foundations of the English language, and ways to work with and support ESL students in your classes, no matter the subject area.
There are five required courses in our part-time TESOL program: two in-class, two online and a 20 hour practicum which can be completed in one of our Humber ESL classes. Each class is 30 hours in length and runs over a period of five weeks. In-class courses run on Monday and Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The courses are offered each semester, so you can complete the program at your own pace, in one, two, three or more semesters. Upon successful completion of all five courses, you can then apply to TESL Canada for certification. Being TESL certified also opens the door if you ever wish to teach overseas. For those instructors without any formal teacher training, this is also a great way to enhance your resume with a teaching credential. For Humber staff or instructors interested in the program, we will waive the $50 registration fee and cover the cost of the teaching practicum, the last course in the program. Unfortunately, as this is a non-funded CE program, the $20 tuition fee does not apply. Each course is $295.00. The link below will provide you with more information about the certificate and the individual courses.

Fall classes begin on September 18.

Faculty are now able to access most student accommodation letters online using the Faculty Web Portal.
Benefits of the Faculty Web Portal:
*Please note that students continue to have the option of self-managing the distribution of their accommodation letters. For this relatively small portion of students, faculty will continue to receive accommodation letters directly from students either electronically or in hardcopy. We ask that faculty continue to store these letters securely.
What has changed?
