In April, the International Centre and the LinX pub hosted our first ever and very successful International Music Night. This gave International Students an opportunity to showcase their amazing talents (most for the first time) here in Canada. 

Looking to build on the success of that event, the International Centre will be hosting a series of smaller yet more intimate music events that will continue to showcase the amazing and incredible musical talents and abilities of Humber International Students from all over the globe.

Starting May 26th and continuing on the last Friday of each month over the summer, International Student performers will be playing in the LRC Concourse from 4:00 to 4:30 p.m. The main goal of these performances is to not only showcase their own amazing talents but to also add to the already energetic weekend mood for the staff here in the LRC!

If you are looking for more, these performers can be found once again starting in September as we look to build on our initial International Music Night Events!

For more questions or inquiries please contact our International Student Ambassador, rohit.sharma2@humber.ca

We hope that you enjoy!

As part of the Phase 1 implementation of Humber’s Integrated Energy Master Plan (IEMP), Facilities Management is replacing failing exterior building envelope with new systems with more insulation, triple pane windows and reduced thermal bridging. When complete, the buildings will be more comfortable, require less energy to heat and cool, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and won’t leak!

In 2017 we are working on North Campus Buildings N and E.

Construction has started May 8th and the majority of the work is anticipated to finish mid August 2017.

Building N: recladding construction

The first and second floor will be officially closed from 7:00 a.m. on May 25, 2017. The basement floor will have limited access, which will be by the elevator and exit stairs near NX as well as the entrance at the basement level on the East side of the Building.

Signage will be placed by the contractor to identify the closed areas and to direct staff and students to emergency exits.

The connection from the LRC to Building N at the second floor will be closed, the link to GH will remain open.

Please see attached plans indicating closures. It is anticipated that the closure will remain until mid August.

Building E: recladding construction

The exterior finish and windows will be removed and replaced with new windows and an exterior finish similar to Building F. The majority of the work will take place on the third and fourth floors but the Accounting Centre and the Business School will have scheduled minor disruptions. The building will not be closed. Signage will be placed by the contractor to identify the construction areas and to direct staff and students to emergency exits.

The State of (In)Equality: Social Justice Under Siege is the fourth annual interdisciplinary conference presented by Humber College’s School of Liberal Arts and Sciences in association with the International Festival of Authors (IFOA).

Harbourfront Centre Toronto: October 28-29, 2017
Keynote Speaker: Susan N. Herman, President of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)

CFP: The perceived orthodoxy of progressive politics has come under attack in recent years by individuals, groups, and institutions that believe their actions and speech are being policed. The term ‘social justice warrior’ (SJW) emerged in 2011. This attempted to switch the term ‘social justice’ (which has since 1840 been primarily a positive concept) into a mainstream pejorative to dismiss those who espoused views concerning social progressivism, civil rights, cultural inclusiveness, gay rights, or feminism. For those activists and researchers who have spent their lives trying to change society for the better, this is a troubling turn. Our conference will examine the current and past state(s) of inequality and social justice from a multi-disciplinary perspective.

  • Indigenous studies
  • Democracy vs. capitalism
  • Poverty and Economic inequality
  • Civil rights
  • Social movements
  • Anti-globalisation
  • Post-neoliberalism
  • Past and future of labour
  • Identity politics
  • Racial inequality
  • Retribalization
  • Rule of law
  • Neo-reactionary
  • Post-humanism and social activism
  • Decolonization
  • Racialization
  • Gender inequality, eco-feminism
  • Social construction of difference
  • Reparations/reconciliation
  • Social democracy
  • Social justice backlash
  • Pluralistic identities
  • Peace and justice
  • Health inequality
  • Ableism
  • Heterosexism
  • Access to education
  • Environmental activism
  • Abuse of state power

We welcome proposals from researchers within all relevant academic disciplines.

If accepted, the presenter(s) should prepare a 20 minute presentation each, the oral equivalent of approximately 8 to 10 pages, double spaced, in Times New Roman 12pt font.

Deadline for Proposals: May 30, 2017
