Do you have a vision and some great ideas to share about the planning for the future of the College? Give voice to your thoughts - join College Council.

ROLE OF COLLEGE COUNCIL

College Council is the collective voice of the College in that it is an assembly of faculty, support staff, students, and administrators who suggest directions in which the College should proceed. College Council advises the President on those College issues which it considers to be long- and short-term priorities as identified in Humber’s Strategic Plan.

As of 2013, Humber’s Strategic priorities follow three themes:

  1. Strengthening our Polytechnic Identity
  2. Sustained Focus on Teaching and Learning Excellence
  3. Maximizing the Impact of Partnerships

The Council advises the President of the College in matters affecting academic policy, planning, and practice, including, the successful implementation of Humber’s Strategic Plan initiatives. College policy or business items ultimately proceeding to the College's Board of Governors may appear at College Council at the discretion of the President, before final disposition at the Board of Governors.

Over the past seven weeks we have been asking for your help to support of Humber student awards and scholarships.

The Humber Gives campaign ends tomorrow so you still have a little bit of time to make an impact for hardworking and deserving students like Rewa. Many of our students need additional financial support to make it through the school year. If you haven’t done so yet, we’re asking you to come together and support Humber student scholarships and awards by making a donation through payroll deduction, monthly giving or a one-time gift.

Help our students so they can stay in school, graduate, and become tomorrow’s community leaders, innovators and change makers.

Should you have any questions on how to give, please contact Cynthia Luey, Annual Giving Officer, x4975 or cynthia.luey@humber.ca.

We need your thoughts and opinions!

Humber International is working with the college-wide Internationalization Committee to craft our second, five-year Internationalization Strategy. The first strategy (2013-2018) was accomplished with many milestones met and goals surpassed. As we prepare to write the new strategy, we’d like to hear from members of the Humber community as to the direction and focus this new strategy should take. 

Community consultations are underway this week. They are being led by a colleague from the Queens Executive Decision Centre, Smith School of Business at Queen’s University. 

There is one day left of our virtual consultation sessions happening this week

The times available are as follows:

Thursday, March 29th

Session 10:  12:00 a.m.

Session 11:  2:00 p.m.

Session 12: 3:30 p.m.

To participate, please send an email indicating which session you’d like to join, to:

Community consultations are underway this week. They are being led by a colleague from the Queens Executive Decision Centre, Smith School of Business at Queen’s University. 

There are virtual consultation sessions happening this week. This means that to participate, you need three things:  

  1. An hour of your time
  2. A way to connect to the Internet (for video portion of the consultation)
  3. A telephone (to connect to the audio portion of the consultation)

This type of consultation is ideal for the size of a community like Humber’s – anyone who can commit an hour of time in one of the slots available can participate, regardless of where they are on campus (or even, where they are in the city, or in the world).

There are still spots available for the consultation sessions this week. They will be held on the following dates:

Wednesday, March 28th

Thursday, March 29th

Session 7:  9:00 a.m.

Session 10:  12:00 a.m.

Session 8:  11:00 p.m.

Session 11:  2:00 p.m.

Session 9:  2:00 p.m.

Session 12: 3:30 p.m.
