Please see the research study notice below for information pertaining to a research study that Baking & Pastry Arts Management Professor, Douglas Smith, is conducting over the next few weeks through Yorkville University.  He would greatly appreciate your assistance in providing this information to interested international students who can assist with the project.

Research Study Notice

Under the mentorship of Dr. Darryl Bautista (Yorkville University, University of New Brunswick), Douglas Smith is seeking only international student participants to take part in a study in identifying any barriers that they may face, which could impact their learning success.

He needs to have student volunteer names submitted within two weeks.  Ensuring that our international student community is successful in their learning is a priority in our teaching. Through Doug's studies, he hopes to identify what some of these barriers might be and further to that learn how to manage these barriers effectively.

For further information and for submitting student names, please contact Chef Douglas Smith at douglas.smith@humber.ca or by phone at 416.675.6622 x5175.

There is no obligation to participate if you do not wish after reading the information letter.

Thank you to everyone who has completed Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire. The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity appreciates your help in building a more inclusive Humber!

Please Complete Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire

Humber College is committed to principles of equity, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The Employment Equity Act was passed in 1986. Recognizing that "systemic discrimination" was responsible for most of the inequality found in employment, the Abella Royal Commission on Equality in Employment outlined a systemic response and chose the term "Employment Equity" to describe the process.

To learn more about Humber’s Employment Equity Program (EEP), please visit the Centre website.

The Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity invites all full-time, part-time, contract and sessional employees to complete the Employment Equity Questionnaire (EEQ). The information that you provide in the Employment Equity Questionnaire will be kept confidential and will only be reported in aggregate form for Employment Equity purposes. In other words, the reported data will not contain any personal identification. Having up-to-date knowledge of our workforce representation will allow the College to identify where underrepresentation exists, and to target its efforts toward removing barriers that may exist in the College’s employment systems.

Please note - the completion of Humber’s Employment Equity Questionnaire is voluntary.
