Humber College Schools/Departments Are Invited to Develop and Submit Proposals for Innovative and Engaging Initiatives with Local Community Non-Profit Organizations
This funding opportunity supports projects delivered in the fall and winter semesters. In this round of funding the HCCP Fund selection panel will also consider proposals for small demonstration projects.
Projects funded through this initiative provide the opportunity for academic schools and administrative departments to further cultivate relationships with partners and stakeholders – bringing the community to Humber and taking Humber into the community in support of Humber’s new Strategic Plan.
The priority of these initiatives is to enhance the lives of local children, youth, Aboriginal peoples, newcomers and other groups who would benefit from projects that enrich learning and increase exposure and access to post-secondary educational possibilities. These might include pathways into education, training and/or employment and/or build organizational capacity of community agencies who share this same focus.
Project proposals that are collaboratively developed with community partners from the initial stages of conceptualization to implementation are highly encouraged. These jointly designed and developed projects should foster community engagement, involvement and address identified community needs. The funds are not available for events but rather substantive partnerships that engage members of the community and have a lasting impact.
Having Humber students participate in projects is welcome, as long as their involvement is an opportunity to deepen and apply theoretical knowledge but not tied to receiving grades for their role; they could, for example, be involved through a mentoring role as a volunteer or in a paid position.
Submissions due: Friday, June 13, 2014, by 5 p.m.
Email: lynn.vanlieshout@humber.ca to receive funding application and guidelines
Email: sabra.desai@humber.ca to discuss possible funding ideas, links to community partners and to refine concepts.

Humber signs agreement with University of Technology, Jamaica
Students will benefit from collaboration and international exchange opportunities through new partnership
TORONTO, Ontario, Canada –April 2– Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of Technology, Jamaica (UTech) in Kingston, Jamaica. Signed by Humber’s President, Dr. Chris Whitaker and Professor the Hon. Errol Morrison OJ, President, University of Technology, Jamaica; the MOU will encourage collaboration between both institutions and lead to the development of initiatives that will benefit students in Canada and Jamaica. The two institutions offer similar programs focused on strong links with industry. Dr. Carole Guntley, long standing supporter of UTech initiated the discussions with Humber professor, Cheryl Francis-Nurse, which led to the MOU.
The agreement was signed at a special ceremony during UTech’s annual School of Hospitality and Tourism Management Research and Exhibition Day held on March 27, 2014, at the University’s Papine campus. Diane Simpson, Dean of International for Humber and Susan Somerville, Dean of Humber’s School of Hospitality, Recreation, and Tourism attended the event which was led by Dr. Paul Golding, Dean, College of Business and Management, UTech and Mrs. Marilyn Cornelius, Head of UTech’s School of Hospitality and Tourism Management. Deans Simpson and Somerville participated in discussions over a two-day visit to UTech to explore collaboration opportunities, study tours, and articulation possibilities with faculty. Discussions with faculty and other stakeholders at UTech were facilitated by Dr. Claire Sutherland, Senior Director, International and Institutional Linkages at UTech.
“International partnerships like this expand the experiences of students through international transfer agreements and study abroad opportunities. Faculty gain exposure to diverse academic and professional practices by taking part in global research and the design/delivery of academic programs,” said Simpson. “We have a long history of international partnerships and strong ties with Jamaica and the Caribbean. Students from the region choose Humber because of its world-renowned reputation, diverse program offerings, and global learning opportunities,” she added.
The Hon. Errol Morrison OJ, President, University of Technology, Jamaica said “UTech continues to pursue mutually beneficial global education opportunities for our students and faculty and we welcome the potential teaching and learning opportunities afforded by this collaboration between UTech and Humber.”
With this new agreement, Humber and the University of Technology, Jamaica hope to develop further global education pathways allowing Humber staff and students the opportunity to engage in exchange initiatives and benefit from increased collaboration between these two leaders in postsecondary education.
