It is with mixed emotions that I share Dr. Jeanine Webber will be leaving her role as Associate Dean in the School of Social and Community Services to take on a position as Dean at Lethbridge College. Jeanine has been a part of Humber for more than 12 years, first joining the school as a part-time professor in a range of our programs. She was instrumental in the launching of both the Community and Justice Services diploma, and our Bachelor of Social Sciences, Criminal Justice degree, holding the role of coordinator as each program began. In recent years, Jeanine has taken on the role of Associate Dean within our school, overseeing a vast range of programs across all credentials.   

Prior to her work at Humber Jeanine held a range of positions in the area of correctional services, progressing through roles as Parole Supervisor, Case Management Officer, Program Development and Evaluation Officer and finally as the Head of Correctional Programs for the Correctional Service of Canada (Ontario). She brought this experience to her work in all of her roles in the school.    

During her time here at Humber Jeanine has also achieved a number of milestones, including the awarding of her doctorate in 2010, and a range of publications and research grants, including as the Principal Investigator on a SSHRC grant focused on evaluating neighbourhood policing. Jeanine has also been the recipient of numerous awards, including the J. Bryan Riley Meritorious Service Award and the Humber Research Excellence Award. While these are all significant achievements worth celebrating, Jeanine will be missed most for her dedication and commitment to the school, our faculty and most importantly, our students. 

Please join me on Friday, May 18^th between 1:30 and 3:00 p.m. in L1017 to say goodbye to Jeanine. Jeanine’s last day with us will be May 25^th.           

Sincerely,

Derek Stockley
Dean, School of Social and Community Services

Hello everyone and happy “spring”,

Wiarton Willie told us there would be six more weeks of winter but apparently he didn’t know there would be an ice storm in April.

We will be holding a rescheduled Open House on Saturday, May 5 when we hope spring will finally have sprung.

Below please find the update email signature template.

Can I please ask that you use this template in your emails so we can get the word out for the event.

More information will come out in the next week as we rebuild the event. Hopefully if you had said you would work last weekend you will still be able to work with us on May 5^th.

Attached please find a copy of the updated email signature to use to promote the event.

Thanks,
Joy

Did you know...

An intent or motive to discriminate is not a necessary element in proving discrimination. The primary focus is on whether the person's actions had a negative or discriminatory effect on you (Human Rights Legal Support Centre).

Many people wrongly think that discrimination does not exist if the impact was not intended, or if there were other factors that could explain a particular situation. Discrimination often takes place without any intent to do harm. The Ontario Human Rights Commission establishes that the lack of intention to discriminate is no defence to an allegation of discrimination. The focus is placed on the impact (the effect) of the questionable behaviour. Intent or motive to discriminate is not a necessary element for a finding of discrimination.

Ensure to familiarise yourself with Humber's Human Rights Policy and Complaints Resolution Procedures found here.
