Our goal of making international students feel welcome and helping them succeed requires many different things. From orientation to social networking events, international student services are in place to give Humber students various types of support.
Getting used to a new country and a different culture can be tough. That is why Humber has developed a special set of programs for international students to help them adjust, adapt, and thrive in their new environment.
A few of the student services provided by the Humber International Centre are listed below.
Virtual Passport to Humber
The Virtual Passport is an online tool designed to assist international students prior to moving to Canada.
On-Campus Orientation, International Students’ Welcome, and Meet ‘N’ Greet
The beginning of each new semester starts with academic orientation and an international students’ welcome to help students learn about upcoming workshops, trips, advising, academic integrity, health insurance, immigration, and more. We also host Meet ‘N Greets at the North and Lakeshore campuses for students, staff, and faculty to network while enjoying an authentic Canadian BBQ, play a few games, and take a #HumberSelfie or two!
Passport to Success
The Passport to Success program encourages students to succeed by rewarding them for attending events and workshops that enhance their experience while studying at Humber and prepare them for their careers. To learn how to participate, click here.
International Student Workshops
The International Centre organizes workshops on important topics such as health care support and work permits.
Monthly Events and Trips
International Student Services staff help international students orient themselves to Canadian culture by organizing a variety of outings. Students go to places such as Niagara Falls, Ottawa, and Montreal; watch hockey games and soccer matches; and attend theatre performances. To check out some of the highlights from past events, click here to see a video made by a talented Humber graduate!

Humber’s Department of Public Safety is continuously seeking ways to enhance the safety and security of the college’s campuses. The most recent additions to the department are new patrol vehicles called Sentinels. Provided by Primary Response Services, our contract security provider, the Sentinels are three-wheeled fully electric vehicles with zero emissions that provide an elevated patrol platform for security guards to observe their surroundings while moving quickly around campus, including areas where a traditional patrol car cannot go.
Rob Kilfoyle, Director of Public Safety and Emergency Management says “the increased mobility and the heightened profile of these marked vehicles will improve response times to incidents or emergencies on campus, and will also provide a greater sense of security and visibility to those in need of our department’s services.” The Sentinels will be in use at the North and Lakeshore Campuses.
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Krista O'Donnell as Humber’s new Chief Advancement Officer (CAO).
Krista will lead the planning and implementation of advancement activities to maximize individual, corporate, foundation, donor and strategic partnership investment, and will enhance relationships with Humber’s 200,000 plus alumni to encourage current and future support. Krista brings a significant amount of experience to her role and will be a tremendous asset to the Office of Advancement & Alumni Relations.
She holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Toronto and is a Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) and has more than 19 years of experience in fundraising. In her most recent role as the Chief Development Officer at the Royal Conservatory of Music (RCM) she was responsible for the strategic management and co-ordination of development activities. Tasked with securing major financial contributions and meeting ambitious revenue goals during her tenure at the RCM, she launched a $40 million campaign and raised the first $20 million within nine months. Krista has also worked with the Toronto General and Western Hospital Foundation as the Director of Major and Planned Gifts, and with the University of Toronto as a Development Officer.
