As you have likely already heard, Microsoft plans to release Windows 10, a new version of its popular operating system, later this summer.
Information Technology will be carefully evaluating Windows 10 this fall. Windows 10 is expected to be very different; it has reportedly been redesigned for use in computers, smartphones, tablets, and gaming consoles.
Humber’s future use of Windows 10 is expected to be an Academic & Educational Technology Committee agenda item next term. In the meantime, all computers in academic spaces will continue to run Windows 7.
Adopting new technology is not without risk. Caution is advised when considering Windows 10 for home use. Although initially available at no cost, users may want to defer Windows 10 until it proves stable and reliable.
Should you have questions or concerns regarding Humber’s adoption plans for Windows 10, please contact me at Ryan.Burton@humber.ca or X5290.

On Canada Day, Humber Press published Canada: Our Home and Native Land, the new children's book from Humber VP Alister Mathieson.
The book - an A-Z exploration of Canadian history and culture - has already received an endorsement from the country's Governor General His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston: "This is a marvelous book for young readers, both as a guide to school studies about Canada and simply for the joy of reading. The sequel to Canada: Our Road To Democracy, it tells stories of Canada in appealing fashion centred around each letter of the alphabet. The four animal characters that animate the book will draw in the young and the young at heart alike. I am certain that parents and grandparents will especially enjoy imitating the voices of the beaver, buffalo, goose and moose as they bring this story to life!"
Copies of Canada: Our Home and Native Land and Canada: Our Road to Democracy are available through Humber Press's online store - humber.ca/humberpressstore/ - with free shipping to Humber campus addresses

What is Etobicoke Lakeshore Culture Days?
Culture Days is a collaborative Canada-wide movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of all Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. The weekend features free, hands-on, interactive activities that give participants a “behind-the-scenes” look into the arts and cultural base of the local community.
How can you get involved?
Are you an artist looking to lead an interactive activity? Do you have a special skill that you can teach to others? We want to hear from you!
Maybe you want to get involved in this fantastic festival, but don't know what type of activity to run, we can help!
