Shut Down of FirstClass E-mail & Calendaring Tool 

Humber’s migration from FirstClass to Exchange concluded June 2013. And as discussed during the cutover, FirstClass will be shut down this year.

Information Technology Services will be permanently shutting down FirstClass, Humber’s legacy e-mail and calendaring tool, on September 30th.

If you have not already done so, please retrieve any FirstClass data you wish to keep. Once shut down, data on FirstClass will not be accessible.

Note that, due to the proprietary nature of FirstClass, data (contacts, email, etc.) must be migrated manually; there is no reliable migration tool.

Please use the remaining three months to move any FirstClass data you wish to keep. FirstClass will be forever shut down September 30, 2015.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at ext. 5290.

Dr. Dawn Macaulay, Associate Dean, Liberal Studies

It is with great pleasure that I announce that Dr. Dawn Macaulay, has accepted the position of Associate Dean in the Department of Liberal Studies, in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences effective July 6, 2015. Over the last year, Dawn has held the position of Acting Associate Dean, Liberal Studies, and in this capacity, she has played a pivotal role on several large scale initiatives not the least of which has been supporting the implementation of MyHumber, the launch of newly revised foundational elective (GNED101), and the relocation of LAS to the new Learning Resource Commons.  Prior to assuming this academic leadership role, Dawn held the position of Coordinator in the Department of Liberal Studies where she championed student success and academic excellence while also giving back to the College by serving on numerous College committees including College Council, Degree Council, and Academic Appeals.

Dawn first joined Humber in 2008 as a faculty member, teaching a variety of psychology courses across all of Humber’s credential levels.  Prior to joining Humber, she enjoyed faculty positions at both Douglas College and the University of British Columbia, where she earned her Ph.D. in 1997 examining mood-dependent memory.  

On behalf of the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the entire Humber community, let me extend my congratulations and say that we look forward to continuing to work with Dawn on many new and exciting initiatives as she continues to support student success and teaching excellence in the Department of Liberal Studies.

Paula F. Gouveia
Dean, School of Liberal Arts and Sciences
