As Humber seeks to build a healthy and inclusive community, one of the communication goals in the department of Student Success and Engagement is to draw connections between students’ lived experiences and the relevant social and support services available to Humber and University of Guelph-Humber (UofGH) students.
Calvin (Cal) Campos works as a Digital Content Creator on the Life@Humber team. Figuring It Out is a video series that follows Cal as they navigate the difficulties of their final year in the Media Studies program at UofGH. Each episode highlights a challenge that Cal is facing at that point in the academic year and follows how their quest to be #AtTheirBest leads them to different campus partners.

We are on the lookout for authentic, approachable, outgoing, and open-minded students that would make great leaders as part of the upcoming 2019-2020 Residence Life Staff team - we are hiring Resident Assistants!
Resident Assistants (RAs) are upper year student leaders who live in residence and are trained in a variety of areas such as leadership, coaching, crisis management, event planning, conflict mediation, equity, diversity, and inclusion. They provide a supportive “mentor-like” role on their floors, while working to increase school and community spirit through various community building activities. RAs work hard to develop lasting relationships with their residents, provide ongoing and individualized support, and ensure that residents benefit from their residence experience.
What's in it for Students?
Aside from having a well-paid job on campus, the RAs learn a variety of skills and what it means to be a leader in residence and on campus! If that's not enough, here are some other perks for students in the role:
If you can help spread the word about our applications – we would greatly appreciate it.
Please feel free to refer any interested students to our website where there is additional information, including our online applications. Information and applications are available at humber.ca/residence. The deadline for students to apply is January 13, 2019 at 11:59 p.m.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
The Residence Life Management Team
