A reminder that scholarship applications for the winter semester are still open to students and will be closing on February 2, 2025.

Please help by continuing to spread the word to students and encourage them to apply by logging into MyHumber.ca.

Scholarships are a wonderful way for students to stress less about paying for tuition, while giving that extra boost of confidence to continue on their path to success. Not all scholarships are based on academic merit. Some may ask for community involvement, leadership initiatives, extracurricular activities, and in some cases, financial need.

Last year, more than 1,200 scholarships were awarded to Humber students. These opportunities offered to students are made possible by Humber’s supportive community of donors and alumni, which includes our very own faculty and staff who donate through Humber Gives.

For more information, visit the Student Scholarships website or reach out to the Advancement and Alumni team by contacting student.awards@humber.ca.

4 Seasons of Reconciliation is a three-hour, 10-module online course that is designed directly in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada’s Calls to Action. It responds specifically to Call to Action #62. This focuses on the need for institutions like Humber Polytechnic to implement curriculum and resources to help people learn about the historical and current context of Indigenous peoples. 

The course is user-friendly and designed to provide context to those less familiar with the themes and historical context embedded in reconciliation. Each short module can be completed at the learner’s pace and provides a mix of learning tools such as PowerPoint presentations, videos, films and quizzes. Learn more at https://humber.ca/indigenous/truth-reconciliation-training.

Registration is now open for the Winter 2025 semester.

Registration closes January 31, 2025.

On Wednesday, January 29, Humber will launch the ‘Ontario Colleges Student Experience Survey’ (OCSES) to all students in full-time, funded programming currently enrolled in semester 2 or above. This survey will assess students’ experiences related to teaching and learning quality, program related knowledge and skills, work-integrated learning (if applicable), and student services and resources. The results of the survey will allow Humber to identify strengths and areas of improvement.

Students will receive a personal survey link through their Blackboard ‘Activity Stream’. From January 29 to February 19, facilitators/instructors will also support survey completion through dedicated in-class time. To encourage participation, students who complete the survey will have the option to enter a draw for a chance to win an Apple iPad (10th Gen), one of two Chromebook laptops, or one of five $200 e-gift cards.

For questions about the survey, please contact Jean O’Donnell at jean.o’donnell@humber.ca. Student’s questions about the survey can be directed to iresearch@humber.ca.

Learn the important distinction between email addresses and User Principal Names (UPNs). This is crucial for ensuring correct communication to students when they access various platforms like Microsoft 365, Adobe, and Blackboard. 

Key Points: 

What is a UPN? 

Staff and students use UPNs for logging into systems like Microsoft 365, Adobe, and Blackboard. It’s important to note that a UPN may look like an email address but serves as a format to log in. 

Understanding these differences helps prevent confusion and ensures that everyone can access the resources they need without any issues. Please take a moment to watch the video and familiarize yourself with these distinctions.
