Do you have a vision and some great ideas to share about the planning for the future of the College? Give voice to your thoughts - join College Council.

ROLE OF COLLEGE COUNCIL

College Council is the collective voice of the College in that it is an assembly of faculty, support staff, students, and administrators who suggest directions in which the College should proceed. College Council advises the President on those College issues which it considers to be long- and short-term priorities as identified in Humber’s Strategic Plan.

As of 2013, Humber’s Strategic priorities follow three themes:

  1. Strengthening our Polytechnic Identity
  2. Sustained Focus on Teaching and Learning Excellence
  3. Maximizing the Impact of Partnerships

The Council advises the President of the College in matters affecting academic policy, planning, and practice, including, the successful implementation of Humber’s Strategic Plan initiatives. College policy or business items ultimately proceeding to the College's Board of Governors may appear at College Council at the discretion of the President, before final disposition at the Board of Governors.

View Paikin’s Talk on his New Biography of Former Premier Bill Davis.

On March 2nd, Humber College was very pleased to host the first event of our 50th Anniversary celebration year with Steve Paikin – award-winning journalist, author and host of TVO’s The Agenda.

Held at the new Centre for Entrepreneurship at Lakeshore Campus, the informative afternoon was a great start to our 50th Anniversary as it featured Steve’s new book “Bill Davis: Nation Builder and Not So Bland After All.” Paikin’s work is the first major biography of former Premier Davis and chronicles his visionary accomplishments as nation builder and especially his founding of Ontario’s college system. 

As a special gift to Humber, Steve has kindly offered his new book for sale at $50, with $10 from each purchase going to support Humber’s 50th Anniversary Scholarship Fund!

A limited number of the Bill Davis books are still available for sale. If you’d like to reserve your copy, and to support the 50th Anniversary Scholarship Fund, please contact Sophia Reid at the Advancement and Alumni Office at 416.673.0152.
