Announcements

It is with mixed emotions that I announce the retirement of Cheryl Evans – our very own Promotion, Events & Communications Officer – on December 31, 2017. Since joining the Humber community 32 years ago, Cheryl has been an integral part of the SSCS family and has inspired us with her outreach efforts and relentless passion for our school.  In addition, Cheryl has consistently displayed an immense commitment towards student success. Her unconditional dedication in seeking external opportunities for Humber students is inspirational, and one that invokes immense pride in her colleagues.

I would like to invite you to a drop-in lunch in honour of Cheryl’s retirement, to celebrate her wonderful years with the School. Please come by L1017 (L Building) on December 20th, between 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. and stay to celebrate the winter holiday with your colleagues and friends from SSCS. 

I hope to see you at this celebration to honour Cheryl for her dedication to our school, staff, faculty and students. 

Warmly,

Derek Stockley
Dean, School of Social and Community Services

Holiday Season Office Safety Tips

Decorating the office for the holiday season?

Festive decorations help to brighten the office and bring holiday cheer. Here are a few tips to make sure this special time of year is fun and safe for everyone: 

  • If you need to stretch to hang ornaments or put up decorations, do not climb on chairs or other furniture. Instead, use a proper step stool or ladder.
  • Inspect lights and electrical cords for damaged, frayed or exposed wires. Do not “daisy chain” electrical cords together or overload outlets.
  • Watch the placement of electrical cords; avoid creating trip hazards.
  • Do not use lighted candles in the workplace; use battery-powered tea lights instead – turn off before leaving.
  • Ensure wreaths, ornaments and other trimmings do not cover or block access to safety equipment, including fire extinguishers, eye wash stations, emergency exit signs or doorways.
  • Remember to unplug tree lights or other illuminated items before leaving for the day!

Having an office party?

Whether your holiday party is on campus or off campus, make safety and health the centerpiece:

  • Be careful not to leave perishable food out for more than two hours – put food back in the refrigerator.
  • Watch for holiday clutter such as boxes and bags and other potential tripping hazards.
  • Wash your hands frequently – it is flu season!

Health and Safety Services would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy and safe holiday season!
