The School of Media Studies and Information Technology recently concluded another successful Social Media Summer Program, a collaborative initiative with Business Academy Aarhus (BAAA), one of our partner institutions in Denmark. From July 9-20, students from BAAA and Humber shared a classroom at Lakeshore Campus. This year we also welcomed a student from Sinclair Community College in the United States.

In this innovative course, taught by faculty from both Humber and BAAA, students discovered how to create relevant and meaningful social media content, and apply effective communication strategies across various platforms. The course included exclusive visits at Microsoft and Shopify, various industry guest speakers, and concluded with students presenting pitch projects to a real Toronto client, Flarian. “Social media is changing all the time. I’m glad to be a part of the evolution!” said one Humber student.

Beyond the classroom, the students built meaningful relationships, expanded their international network, and appreciated the opportunity to learn in such a culturally diverse group of people. They all walk away from this experience with a new, global perspective on social media.

Schuyler Esen from Sinclair Community College warmly reflected on her experience: “This time in Toronto was such an eye opening experience for me as a student and as an American, and I will cherish the lessons I’ve learned both in and out of the classroom for the rest of my life.”

The Humber College and University of Guelph-Humber communities are upset and saddened by the events that took place along the Danforth yesterday.

On Tuesday, July 24, flags at all campuses will be flown at half-mast out of respect for the victims of this terrible incident and their families. Our thoughts are with them, as well as the first responders, witnesses and everyone else impacted. Those on the scene – first responders and witnesses alike - exhibited great bravery and compassion.

Humber and U of G-H are committed to supporting all members of our community. If needed, students are encouraged to seek support from the Student Wellness and Accessibility Centre (humber.ca/student-life/swac).

Employees can contact the Employee Assistance Program.

It is during difficult times like these that the Humber and Guelph-Humber communities have shown our ability to come together for each other and for the people of Toronto.

Humber’s Human Rights Policy and Complaints Resolution Procedure undergoes a review every five years. Regular review of the policy and procedures ensures that we reflect current legislation changes and strengthen our human rights early intervention and resolution process. Most importantly, a review of our Human Rights Policy and Complaint Resolution Procedures provides the Centre with an opportunity to hear directly from you!

The Centre is inviting community feedback on the revised policy and procedures attached to this Communique message. Please forward any suggestions or queries to humanrights@humber.ca by Monday, August 20, 2018.
