Congratulations to the Humber-Lakeshore DECA U member, Krishna Latchman, who came in 1st place at the Social Entrepreneurship Conference held at Ryerson University on October 31st.

Dear Humber staff, students and faculty,
Congratulations on completing the Fall semester. As 2014 comes to a close and the Humber community disperses for the holidays, we wanted to take this opportunity to wish you safe travels and remind you of ways to help maintain a healthy campus environment upon your return in January.
As the cold and flu season continues through the winter months, you can help stop the spread of germs by:
- Washing or sanitizing your hands frequently
- Coughing or sneezing into a tissue - and putting the used tissue in a waste basket and not in your purse or pocket
- If you don't have a tissue, sneezing or coughing into your sleeve or arm - NOT your hands
- Staying home if you aren't feeling well
And if you are travelling over the holidays, especially to places affected by travel advisories, please take a moment to ask yourself the following questions as you prepare to return to campus:
- Do you have a fever/are you feeling feverish?
- Do you have a severe headache or muscle pain?
- Do you have diarrhea or are you vomiting?
- Do you have a sore throat or stomach pain?
- Are you feeling unusually weak or fatigued, or experiencing chills?
If you answer yes to any of the above questions, please contact your health care provider and mention your recent travel.

Decorating the office for the holiday season?
Festive decorations help to brighten the office and bring holiday cheer. Here are a few tips to make sure this special time of year is fun and safe for everyone:
- Use a proper step stool or ladder to hang ornaments or decorate the tree.
- Watch the placement of electrical cords; even Santa’s elves avoid creating trip hazards.
- Don’t “daisy chain” electrical cords together or overload outlets.
- Ensure wreaths, ornaments and other trimmings do not cover emergency exit signs or block access to fire hose cabinets/fire extinguishers etc.
- Remember to unplug tree lights before leaving for the day!
Having an office party?
- Be careful not to leave perishable food out for more than two hours – put food back in the refrigerator.
- Watch for holiday clutter such as boxes and bags and other potential tripping hazards.
- Wash your hands frequently – it is flu season!
Health and Safety Services would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy and safe holiday season!

Humber’s Human Rights Policy & Faculty/Student Relationships
The integrity of the faculty/student relationship is a key foundation of Humber College’s educational mission. This relationship confers significant trust in the faculty member, who, in turn, assumes authority and accountability as an educator, evaluator, coach and mentor.
Humber’s Human Rights Policy instructs that the pedagogical relationship between faculty member and student must be protected from influences or activities that can interfere with learning consistent with the goals and ideals of the College.
Provided below is an overview of Humber’s position on faculty/student relationships as outlined in section three (3), page three (3) of Humber’s Human Rights Policy:
- The pedagogical relationship between faculty member and student must be protected from influences or activities that can interfere with learning consistent with the goals and ideals of the College. All such relationship jeopardizes the integrity of the educational process. Whenever a faculty member is responsible for academic supervision of a student, a personal relationship between them of a romantic or sexual nature, even if consensual, is inappropriate.
- Any sexual or romantic relations between a teacher and a student during the period of the teacher/student relationship are prohibited. The prohibition extends to sexual relations between a student and all others who have supervisory academic responsibility for that student.
- All complaints of sexual harassment will lead to a formal investigation. Faculty members found in violation of this prohibition will be terminated.
