Do you have students working in your school or department this summer?
Why not give them a great skill development opportunity by having them participate in the Bringing in the Bystander training. Bringing in the Bystander uses a community of responsibility model to teach bystanders how to intervene safely and effectively in cases where sexual violence may be occurring or where there may be risk. The program message is that “Everyone in the community has a role to play in ending sexual violence.”
This is a great opportunity for any student to engage in an important, CCR certified, training session as an engaged member of the Humber and Guelph-Humber community.
If you have any interested students that would like to join the training program, please contact Kathy Donaldson at kathy.donaldson@humber.ca or 416.675.6622 x5670 by Friday, May 6, 2016.

Make Safety a Habit!
What is NAOSH Week?
North American Occupational Safety and Health (NAOSH) Week is an international initiative focused on highlighting the importance of health and safety in all aspects of our lives. Beginning in 1997, NAOSH Week events and activities have been held in Canada, the United States and Mexico with the goal of focusing the attention of all individuals on injury and illness prevention in the workplace, at home and in the community.
The NAOSH Week logo, three hands forming an equilateral triangle, represents cooperation and commitment among the many partners in health and safety. In Canada, NAOSH Week is led by the Canadian Society of Safety Engineering (CSSE), who, work in partnership with many organizations to promote NAOSH Week events. NAOSH Week activities are coordinated across the country by committees, comprised mainly of volunteers, dedicated to raising awareness and reducing injuries and illnesses in our workplaces and communities.

Program Development Process
Laurie Rancourt, Humber’s Senior Vice President Academic, walked Council members through the process by which new programs are developed at Humber. Every program development decision is anchored in Humber’s three foundational documents: the 2013-2018 Strategic Plan, the 2016-2021 Academic Plan, and the Strategic Enrollment Management (SEM) Framework and Action Plans.
The Core SEM Team, which has cross-institutional representation, is an important part of the program development process. Several SEM processes inform decisions about new programs:
The program development process is constantly evolving. In addition to the work at the school and program level, the following steps are essential:
Progressing from idea to concept to program takes time. Non-degree programs must be approved by the Board of Governors and submitted to MTCU at least eighteen months prior to the proposed start date. For degree programs, at least 27 months are required.
2016 Environmental Scan
Corrine Johnston, Director, Strategic Planning and Institutional Analysis, with assistance from Amy Kaufman, Manager, Strategic Planning, and Christina Persaud, Administrative Coordinator, Strategic Planning and Institutional Analysis, presented Humber’s new 2016 environmental scan. This is the ongoing review of current and anticipated internal and external factors that impact Humber specifically and postsecondary education generally. The information is presented in an interactive web-based format, accessible by all Humber staff and faculty.
The economic scan includes data and analysis of demographics, international student recruitment, immigration, the economy and the labour market. It also includes information about Humber’s enrollment, international students, Humber’s competitive environment, and student applications by college across the GTA.
For more information, and to view the data and analysis, please visit humber.ca/wearehumber/environmentalscan
In keeping with Council’s mandate to report back to the President on key items, members of Council met in small working groups to discuss the evening’s presentations and to make notes that will be brought to the President.

This is to inform that the Mailroom has made courier and stationery forms available online (humber.ca/facilities) whereby the users can now submit their requests from the computers directly. The goal is to simplify the process making it more user friendly.
In addition to this, we have kept the manual forms still available for now, however the manual forms will be eventually eliminated. We strongly encourage all the staff members to start using the online version. Please contact the Mailroom for any questions you may have. Thank you.
