Today, on National Philanthropy Day, we celebrate the kindness and generosity of our donors and their vital support. We also acknowledge the important contributions of Humber’s faculty and staff whose generosity provides students with Unlimited opportunities and the encouragement to dream big.

In honour of National Philanthropy Day, we have created this amazing “Year in Review” video to celebrate Humber’s community of donors and the spirit of generosity. This video highlights many of the amazing accomplishments over the past year and the incredible impact our donor community continues to make in the lives of Humber students every day.

Happy National Philanthropy Day!

Resources to Support Student Well-being

Post-secondary studies and various environmental, systemic and structural factors can have adverse effects on learner's mental health and well-being. Generally, there are signs that a learner is struggling long before a situation escalates into a crisis.

Faculty and staff are well-positioned to recognize behaviour that may indicate that a learner is in distress and may require support. Being able to recognize the signs of distress and make appropriate referrals are critical first steps in supporting learner well-being.

The Responding to Students in Distress website and the Student Wellness and Equitable Learning Handout have resources for faculty and staff to learn more about steps they can take to support learners, as well as information about the “Recognize, Respond and Support a Learner in Distress” Workshop that is available to the Humber Community. Faculty and staff who interact with students are encouraged to take this workshop.

For more information about employee learning resources, please visit the Professional Learning section of the People(s) & Culture website.

If you have any questions, please contact the HR Support Centre.
