The Degree Breadth Committee is soliciting your proposals for new Breadth courses for Humber Degree students.

The Committee has a renewed website that clarifies the process of proposing Breadth courses at Humber with a step-by-step guide, a searchable inventory of approved Breadth courses, a short proposal form, and a variety of resources for developers.

Proposal forms will be reviewed by the Committee in mid-October. To be considered at this meeting, the form must have the support of your department (as indicated by the signature of your Associate Dean/Dean), and be submitted to the degree.breadth@humber.ca email address by October 11th 2017.

We look forward to seeing your ideas.

Research study notice: Seeking South Asian (i.e., Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi) participants to explore a possible route to better understanding how we recognize and learn faces from one's own ethnicity background and other ethnicity backgrounds (known as the other-race effect). For around one hour of your time, you will earn a $20 gift card!

The study involves matching photographs of different people together by viewing multiple photographs of a faces. This involves trying to find a different photograph of the correct person in a selection of 30 different people. With important applied implications for verification of identity, this is a fun learning experience with compensation for participants. 

More details about the study will be emailed to interested students who self-identify as South Asian (i.e., Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi) - these details are provided in an information letter. Each interested student is advised to read over the letter before proceeding to view a linked schedule, which shows when the study is being run. Please note that this study is taking place at the University of Guelph-Humber on Humber College's North Campus.

If you wish to find out more information about the study - with no obligation to participate if you do not wish after reading the information letter - then please contact Ms. Rachel Simec or Ms. Ankita Arora at OREProjectUGH@gmail.com.

If you have any questions or concerns about the study, please contact Dr. Adam Sandford who is leading this research project: adam.sandford@guelphhumber.ca, 416.798.1331 x6088.
