Eileen De Courcy, Humber's Associate Vice President, Teaching and Learning, is very proud to present the 2015-16 Annual Report for the Centre for Teaching & Learning, which can now be read online here.
The report clearly demonstrates how the CTL supports Humber's Academic Schools and its faculty in the pursuit of our collective mission of establishing Humber as a "Leader in Polytechnic Education."
It also shows how our schools and faculty have engaged in ongoing learning, development, training, innovation and research that extends their teaching practice beyond traditional methods.
Please join Eileen in congratulating the schools and faculty on their demonstrated commitment to excellence in teaching and learning.
She would also like to thank the CTL team for all their hard work and dedication in supporting the schools and faculty.

On behalf of myself and the School of Applied Technology, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Bernard Jackson in his retirement.
Bernie has been employed with Humber for the last 35 years as an instructor for the Heating Refrigeration and Air Conditioning programs.
He is a valued member of the team and will be greatly missed by his colleagues and students.
His knowledge of the field spans farther than any textbook and stories he shared with his students about his own life and experience will be carried with them through their lives and careers.
Bernie, your retirement actually means that you got promoted to one of the best roles in your life. Enjoy and congratulations.
Michael Auchincloss
Associate Dean, School of Applied Technology
