Jason Powell, dean of Humber's School of Health Sciences, has been appointed to the council of the College of Early Childhood Educators. The 24-member council governs the college, which regulates and certifies early childhood educators in Ontario.

The council consists of 14 members of the college who are elected by other members, and 10 members who are appointed by the Lieutenant Governor-in-Council.

“Over the past several years Jason has been an excellent advocate for our own registered Early Childhood Educators, and I am confident that he will represent our profession in a way that will make us all proud,” says Bridge Woodcock, the director of Humber's child care centres and a registered ECE. “I am very pleased that he will be a voice at the table.”

It is my great pleasure to announce the appointment of Steve Bellamy as Humber’s incoming Dean for the School of Creative and Performing Arts (SCAPA).  You will all know Steve as a valued member of the Humber team since 2007.  Steve is currently the Associate Dean of SCAPA and Founder/President of Addo Records Inc. 

Steve brings to the Dean’s position a wealth of experience as a professor, music producer and academic administrator.  His many career successes include more than 25 years of postsecondary experience, the recording of more than 100 albums of jazz and classical music (with several Juno and Opus winning and nominated albums among them), and the presentation of numerous papers and lectures.  He holds a Bachelor of Music from the University of Prince Edward Island and a Master of Music from McGill University in Montreal.  Steve has won numerous academic and research awards, and he is currently a PhD candidate at York University in Toronto.

I invite you to join me in congratulating Steve on this well-deserved appointment.  He will take on this new role as of July 2^nd, 2015.  

Steve, I look forward to working with you in this new role.
