On October 30th, 2016 delegates from Humber attended the 20th anniversary celebration of the Humber-Ningbo joint partnership program in Ningbo, China. The Humber-Ningbo program, which began in 1996, is the college's longest-standing international partnership and has produced more than 2,000 graduates.

The anniversary celebration took place on Ningbo University’s campus where Humber President, Chris Whitaker and Ningbo University Vice President, Yan Xiaojun spoke to the audience about the successful partnership between the two institutions. Over the past 20 years, Humber and Ningbo University have worked collaboratively to ensure that students receive the highest standard of education, with pathways that lead to academic and career success both in China and in Canada.

The celebration was attended by over 100 alumni including students from the first graduating class. After completing the diploma program at Humber, many graduates have continued their education by completing degrees and masters programs at York University and Bishops University in Canada and Davenport University in the USA. Since completing their education all alumni have established strong careers and a number of graduates have also gone on to become successful entrepreneurs running their own business.

To commemorate the 20th anniversary, a special video was shown during the celebration highlighting the unique aspects that truly make this program extraordinary.

Congratulations to both Humber and Ningbo University for their dedication to student success over the last 20 years.

Each year we ask Humber employees to support the United Way of Toronto, either through regular payroll deductions, one-time donations or by participating in a fundraising activity.

We do this because we know the United Way and its member agencies make a significant difference in our neighbourhoods, helping people – children, youth and seniors among them – to lead better, healthier lives.

Your donation can benefit Humber students directly. Designate your donation towards Humber awards and scholarships, and you’ll help to make a noticeable impact on the lives of our students. Helping the students we see every day is truly making a difference close to home.

You can also simply donate to the United Way, which will use your funds to support different community organizations.

We have an ambitious fundraising goal of $80,000.00 for this year. Can it be done? Absolutely.

We are a generous community. Together, we contribute donations, climb stairs, polish our nails, take tunnel tours and ride stationary bicycles – all to help make others’ lives better.

There are many ways to help. I invite you to explore www.humber.ca/unitedway to find out how.

Thank you for your support!

The Office of Sustainability is pleased to announce the release of the Workplace Sustainability Assessment, an initiative designed to enable workplaces across the college to evaluate their sustainability practices across key areas:

  • Waste
  • Energy
  • Transportation
  • Purchasing
  • Engagement

This initiative — a collaboration between the Humber Community Engagement in Sustainability Committee, the Office of the Vice-President for Student and Community Engagement and the Office of Sustainability — is aimed at capturing sustainable practices of both the department as a whole and on an individual basis. 

The results of the assessment will be used to determine the level of certification for your workplace: Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum.

This assessment is part of a long line of initiatives dedicated to fostering and maintaining sustainable practices across the College. Humber’s success in its commitment to a sustainable campus has resulted in:

  • Selected as one of Canada’s Greenest Employer 2016
  • Received Smart Commute Workplace Gold 2016, 2015
  • A LEED Gold designation for the Learning Resources Commons

This year the college has also recertified its STARS Silver designation and continues to work towards achieving STARS Gold in 2019.
