In honour of the late Eric Dymond (Professor, School of Media Studies and Information Technology), friends and colleagues at Humber College have come together to establish the Eric Dymond Memorial Award – a tribute to his invaluable contribution to education. The award, offered to students enrolled in Game Programming and Computer Programming, will provide financial support to one deserving student.
Always an innovator, Eric’s student-centered approach to teaching, as well as his kind and compassionate demeanor contributed to his effectiveness as a professor, earning him the respect and affection of peers, staff and students. Eric was a fantastic team player, always eager to collaborate and continuously improve teaching and learning. A talented and accomplished artist with a curious and analytical mind, Eric shared his vast knowledge and creativity with his students and peers, encouraging others to explore their minds, and find their inspiration.
If you would like to make a gift to the Eric Dymond Memorial Award, please click here.
If you are interested in bridging your benefits for the summer semester, please notify Nathan Tysdal by email at nathan.tysdal@humber.ca to obtain the cost.
Please note, if you currently have active critical illness coverage you must make arrangements to bridge your benefit coverage. If you do not bridge your coverage, re-enrollment of the critical illness is only available through a health questionnaire and coverage is subject to Sun Life’s approval.
Postdated cheques will be required no later than April 22, 2016.
If you are not interested, your benefit coverage will end at the end of the month in which your partial load contract ends.
Thank you,

I am pleased to announce restructuring within the Division of Student and Community Engagement. Beginning April 4th, Shelley Charles, Elder and Advisor on Aboriginal Relations, will report to the Vice President, Student and Community Engagement. This restructuring is consistent with federal, provincial and institutional direction recognizing the priority of advancing Indigenous student success and access to culturally relevant education opportunities. I’d like to acknowledge the commitment of Jen McMillen, in her role as Dean of Students, to supporting the important work that has happened to date. The relationship between Student Success & Engagement and the Aboriginal Resource Centre will continue to be integral in supporting our Indigenous students.
Key components of Shelley’s portfolio include:
Shelley is an Alumnus of the Landscape Technology, Horticulture Science Program of Humber College. Her father was an instructor at Humber and her son graduated from the Arboriculture Program in 2010. Shelley has worked extensively in First Nation communities with youth and aboriginal artists with a commitment to preserving cultural knowledge and language. Prior to being appointed Elder Advisor at Humber, Shelley worked with Corrections Canada in multi-level and maximum security institutions in Ontario.
Shelley has studied the culture and ceremonies of the Midewiwin faith keepers for over 30 years, and attained her 3rd Degree and Masters of Indigenous Knowledge from the Seventh Generation Institute in Fort Frances, Ontario.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Shelley for her ongoing work with the college and the significant advancement of the Indigenous portfolio, internally and externally, since 2009.
Sincerely,
Jason Hunter
Vice President, Student and Community Engagement
