As we begin planning for the Winter 2018, I would like to inform you that Drew Harvey has left Humber College and the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences to pursue other opportunities. Before his departure, I thanked Drew for the  contributions he made to both our Pathways Programs and the School-College-Work Initiatives during his tenure as Associate Dean, Pathways Programs. Under his leadership, both our Dual Credit and General Arts and Science Programs have been recognized as leaders in the province.

Given the nature of his portfolio, many at Humber had the opportunity to work with Drew on a variety of initiatives during his time at Humber. I know that you join me in wishing him only the best in all of his future endeavors.

To ensure that the School-College-Work Initiatives and General Arts and Science programs continue to move forward, I will be overseeing these two departments until a permanent replacement is found. I am supported by a very dedicated team, and together we will ensure that those initiatives that Drew introduced and put in place over the last year, continue to progress.

Kindest regards,

Paula Gouveia, Dean
School of Liberal Arts and Sciences

Did you know that Student Life’s Leadership Program offers leadership workshops by request?

The Workshop By Request Program allows staff and faculty to easily request leadership workshops to be facilitated in the classroom or student training sessions by a professional staff member. Staff and faculty can select from the list of available workshop offerings, including:

  • Personal Values & Ethics
  • Leading Others & Group Dynamics 
  • Conflict Management 
  • Professionalism
  • Assertive Communication 
  • Goal Setting  
  • The 5 Practices of Exemplary Leadership
  • Bringing in the Bystander*

This is a great opportunity to enhance the curriculum, proactively provide additional skills and tools to students and to emphasize connections between leadership skills and their academic area of study. To create the best learning experience, we highly recommend that the faculty or staff member be present during the workshop to assist in facilitating questions that may arise and aid in bridging content with course material. To best facilitate this, we recommend connecting with the Coordinator, Leadership Programs to discuss tailored case studies and expectations for classroom participation during the interactive components.

Not sure if the workshop fits your curriculum or training goals? Staff and faculty can also request some customization of an already offered workshop in order to best fit the student group to which it will be delivered.

For more information, visit: humber.ca/studentleadership/resources/leadership-workshop-request-program

* This 2 hour training program will discuss how we can all play a role as active, positive bystanders and create a community that is safer from sexual and relationship violence. The program teaches bystanders how to safely intervene in instances where an incident may be occurring or where there may be risk. Through in-depth discussion of issues and common scenarios, participants come to understand how they play a part in proactively preventing sexual and relationship violence, and how they can help survivors get the help and support they need.
