Once again The Department of Public Safety in partnership with The Toronto Police Service will be organizing and collecting toys for our annual #Santa9114Kids.

Last year was a huge success! A big thanks goes to the Humber College Community.

We were able to collect and donate hundreds of toys to several local hospitals, families, and single parents in the GTA that needed some help during the holiday season.

Please bring a new unwrapped toy to the Department of Public Safety in NX101 before Monday, December 12, 2016.

The toys will be delivered to the families and Humber River Hospital between December 15th and Wednesday December 21, 2015.

Once again thank you for the continued support!

As you are aware, Humber’s 2016-2021 Academic Plan is now finalized and available at humber.ca/about-humber/corporate-info/publications/files/humber-academic-plan-summary.pdf. As we now collectively focus our efforts on achieving the goals set out in the plan, I am pleased to announce that we will be initiating an Essential Skills strategy in support of Goal 7 of the Academic Plan. It is also my pleasure to announce that Vera Beletzan has been assigned to lead this special project beginning in the Winter 2017 semester.

Vera will be leading Humber’s Essential Skills strategy which will include the development of Humber’s Institutional Learning Outcomes framework for essential skills, as well as the development and implementation of an essential skills assessment process. Vera brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to this role. Her past experience in this area includes a leadership role in the development of the Competencies Framework for Humber’s Co-Curricular Record. She is also currently a member of Humber’s research team working within HEQCO’s Learning Outcomes Assessment Consortium. As the Associate Dean of English, Vera oversees the development and delivery of essential skills in communications across Humber’s schools and programs and represents the college on the Ontario Colleges Language and Communications Council.

I invite you to join me in welcoming Vera to this role and look forward to engaging the entire Humber team in this important work in the months to come.

Warmest regards,

Laurie Rancourt

As Lynne Bentley retires from her role as Director of Humber Libraries at the end of December, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Alexandra Ross to Interim Director. As part of the Student and Community Engagement leadership team, Alexandra will focus on operations and management of Humber Libraries. A backfill plan will be put in place to ensure Alexandra’s current responsibilities are covered.  The search for a new Director of Libraries will commence in the new year, with the intent to appoint a permanent Director by Spring 2017.

Alexandra has been with Humber since 2009 as a Business Librarian. While she initially had responsibilities on all three campuses, Business School growth shifted Alexandra’s focus to Lakeshore’s business students and faculty. Alexandra has also been the Lakeshore Library and Learning Commons Coordinator, coordinating the day-to-day operations of both these spaces. In addition to her library experience, Alexandra has worked in executive search and public relations. Alexandra’s educational credentials include a Bachelor of Commerce, a Bachelor of Arts (English), a Master of Arts (Communications) and a Master of Information Studies.

Please join me in congratulating Alexandra on this appointment.

As part of winter orientation, the Student Life programs team is collaborating with our counsellors from Student Wellness and Accessibility Centre (SWAC) to run a Mature Students' Lunch and Learn on Tuesday, January 10 at North and Lakeshore Campus. 

Part of this lunch and learn is to provide our mature students (those who identify as being out of the post-secondary system for over 3 years; and/or, those that are 25 years and over and are juggling various life roles) with an opportunity to learn about dealing with the challenges of going back to school. 

We're currently in need of 2 student panelists for our Lakeshore session (Jan. 10 - 12-1pm) and 1 student panelist for our North session (Jan. 10 - 1-2pm). The role of the panelists would be to share their experiences as a mature student at Humber to our incoming first-semester students.

Any staff or faculty who may know of any great candidates who would be willing to participate, please have them contact Pirom Houth, Coordinator, Orientation & Transition Programs: pirom.houth@humber.ca
