Jim Davison  (Sept 6, 1931 – Oct 26, 2017)

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of former VP Administration Jim L Davison on October 26, 2017. Jim was one of the “founding fathers” of Humber serving as Executive Vice-President (1976-1979) and Vice-President Administration (1979-1986). As part of the senior executive team Jim’s trademark of always being approachable with a listening ear helped to guide and build Humber into the great educational institution that it is today. After his retirement in 1985 Jim resided with his wife Dorothy in Oakville and in 2016 moved to Lookout Ridge Retirement Home, located in Fonthill, in the Niagara Region.

The Centre for Entrepreneurship is now in promotion mode for the CfE’s Launch Me Workshops Series and Competition. Our promotional focus is to inspire students and alumni that they have what it takes, inside of them, to succeed in anything they set your heart to! That they can pursue their dreams to be the next Mark Zuckerberg, Sara Blakely, Arianna Huffington, Bobby Flay, Warren Buffett, Bill Gates or even Steve Jobs!

 

Launch Me workshops are aimed to help students and alumni receive the training and skills they need to take their business idea to the next level. There are three sections for the workshop series, with topics including the Lean Canvas, Business Plan Development and Business Pitch training. These skills are directly related to the competition, which is launching January 8th, 2018. The competition requires a completed application and business plan submission, and chosen finalists are required to pitch to a live audience on April 5th, 2018 for an opportunity to receive up to $10,000 in prizes for their business.

Please note: attendance to Business Plan and Pitching workshops are mandatory to enter the competition. For students who are unable to attend, the sessions will be recorded and available online for review.

For important dates and workshop schedule, please visit our website.

We are also more than happy to visit your class to provide more information to your students and encourage them to participate in the workshop and competition. Please contact Marisa Tomassi at marisa.tomassi@humber.ca to schedule a class visit.

 

We would greatly appreciate if you could please forward this flyer to key individuals who are engaged with aspiring entrepreneurs. Let’s keep working together as we nurture the entrepreneurship spirit across our campuses.
