Hi everyone,

As you know, Support Staff Appreciation Week (SSAW) will be here soon! The theme for this year is “WE ARE SSAW Celebrating Humber’s 50 Golden Years.” 

This year marks SSAW’s 29th anniversary, celebrating the contributions you make to the college with a week of professional development opportunities. As you know, this year also marks Humber’s 50th Anniversary. We are therefore very proud to be celebrating Humber’s amazing story. 

The week of February 21 – 24, 2017 will be filled with a wide variety of learning opportunities to support our employees’ ongoing success. Please see the SSAW 2017 Calendar for more information.

We hope you take the time for some learning experiences; spend some time having some fun; and spend a bit of time reminiscing. Let’s take a look back the 1960’s. In particular, let’s take a look back at 1967 as this was the year Humber opened its doors. 
 
Throughout the week, we will offer some interesting professional development opportunities and share some memories of back in the day.

Enjoy everyone!

Following a variety of great sessions and events, we will hold our celebratory luncheon in the gymnasium with keynote Slap Happy!

For over 15 years, Slap Happy has been performing award-winning improvised comedy across North America and Europe. During that time they've won three Canadian Comedy Awards as best improv troupe, and individually have taken home several more as writers, directors and performers.

SSAW 2017 will be an exciting and fun week and we look forward to your participation!

Regards,
Julie Pellegrini, HR Services, Committee Chair

The Editorial Board of the Canadian Journal of Students’ Applied Research (CJSAR) in collaboration with Humber Press would like to invite submissions for publication in the 2018 edition.

The CJSAR is an online, open-access journal dedicated to publishing the very best original, applied research produced by students enrolled in Canadian colleges, institutes of technologies and polytechnics.  We are committed to publishing work that reflects the interdisciplinary character of Canadian colleges, institutes of technologies, and polytechnics.  As such, we encourage submissions in non-traditional publication formats including (but not limited to) multi-media documents that combine interlink text, image, film or audio/soundscape material.

Publication consideration will also be given to other high-quality creative outputs like comprehensive literature reviews, critical book reviews, personal profile interviews, research notes, etc.

For more information or to submit a manuscript for consideration, visit cjsar.ca

CJSAR accepts submissions year-round. However, to be considered for publication in the 2018 issue (expected in January 2018), manuscripts must be submitted by May 15, 2017.

Please direct any questions to Dr. Ted Glenn (ted.glenn@humber.ca), Editor-in-Chief.

Do you teach social media or use social media as a teaching tool? Are you interested in learning more about teaching social media?

Whether your focus is teaching social media from a strategic viewpoint, applying best practice for social media platforms heavy on SEO and analytics, or using a Tumblr or WordPress blog as part of your class, let’s share our ideas. Social media’s constant changes challenge us to keep up. Let’s discuss ways we can enrich our learning and bring new approaches to teaching social media.

A key objective of our Community of Practice is to create a Social Media Lab. By leveraging the great knowledge base at Humber, we will become the focal point for social media technologies, strategies, analytics and research. Faculty and students will benefit in our contributing role towards digital literacy.
