In a continued effort to support your transition to Chrome River we have detailed some reminders based on user inquiries.

Dear colleagues,

Please see the research study notice below for information pertaining to a research study being conducted throughout the winter semester at the University of Guelph-Humber. We would greatly appreciate your assistance in providing this information to interested students and members of faculty/staff of Humber College.

Research study notice: Seeking South Asian (i.e., Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi) participants native to Canada or enrolled as an international student to explore a possible route to better understanding how we recognize and learn faces from one's own ethnicity background and other ethnicity backgrounds (known as the other-race effect). For around one hour of your time, you will earn a $20 gift card!

The study involves matching photographs of different people together by viewing multiple photographs of a faces. This involves trying to find a different photograph of the correct person in a selection of 30 different people. With important applied implications for verification of identity, this is a fun learning experience with compensation for participants. 

More details about the study will be emailed to interested students and members of faculty/staff who self-identify as South Asian (i.e., Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi) - these details are provided in an information letter, which will be attached to the email. Each interested student/staff/faculty is advised to read over the letter before proceeding to view a linked schedule, which shows when the study is being run. Please note that this study is taking place at the University of Guelph-Humber on Humber College's North Campus.

If you wish to find out more information about the study - with no obligation to participate if you do not wish after reading the information letter - then please contact Ms. Rachel Simec or Ms. Ankita Arora at OREProjectUGH@gmail.com.

If you have any questions or concerns about the study, please contact Dr. Adam Sandford who is leading this research project: adam.sandford@guelphhumber.ca, 416.798.1331 x6088.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Linda Smithies. For many years, Linda was a faculty member in Liberal Arts and Sciences where she taught English Communications and later became a Program Coordinator of General Arts and Science. In more recent years, Linda was a valued member of the Program Planning, Development and Renewal Department focussing on program reviews for every credential across the college. She also achieved two lifelong goals by earning a PhD from OISE in 2015 and visiting Vietnam this past fall. Linda touched the lives of many people in the Humber community who enjoyed working closely with her. Linda's legacy lives on in the countless programs she worked with that help students succeed in their lives. 

Linda's Celebration of Life will be on Saturday January 20, from 2-4 p.m., at Gilbert MacIntyre Funeral Home (Hart Chapel) 1099 Gordon Street, Guelph, ON. The celebration will be held in the Fellowship Lounge. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Society, New Hope Animal Rescue or the Canadian Cancer Society.

Humber Testing Services provides a barrier free testing environment to students registered with Accessible Learning Services who require testing accommodations such as assistive software, flexible seating and additional time. 

Testing Services is anticipating an extremely high demand for service from students requiring accommodated testing during the final exam period (wait times of up to 2 hours).  We are working with the academic units to divert non-accommodated testing from Testing Services. 

This can be accomplished in a number of ways including:

  • the use of alternative assessment methods;
  • the use of virtual proctoring (for more information, contact the Open Learning Centre); and
  • Coordinated school-based proctoring – please connect with your Associate Dean or Program Coordinator to determine options available within your school for students who require conflict testing.

Dear colleagues,

Please see the research study notice below for information pertaining to two research studies being conducted throughout the winter semester at the University of Guelph-Humber. We would greatly appreciate your assistance in providing this information to interested students and members of faculty/staff of Humber College.

Research study notice: Two studies that are examining the recognition of faces require participants for around 45 minutes (per study). Participants in each study will be compensated with a $15 gift card. That’s an opportunity to earn $30 in gift cards.

One study involves deciding whether two photographs show the same person or different people, known as a matching task, and the other study involves examining photographs of celebrities for true likeness (i.e., which of two images show an accurate representation of a given celebrity). These studies have important applied implications for verification of identity (e.g., in scenarios where photo-ID is checked for accuracy) and better understanding how we recognize faces.

More details about each study will be emailed to interested students and members of faculty/staff. These details are provided in information letters, which will be attached to the email. Each interested student/staff/faculty is advised to read over each letter before proceeding to view schedules of available appointments. Please note that these studies are taking place at the University of Guelph-Humber on Humber College's North Campus.

If you wish to find out more information about each study - with no obligation to participate if you do not wish after reading the information letter(s) - then please contact Dr. Adam Sandford, who is leading this research project: adam.sandford@guelphhumber.ca.
