Humber and University of Guelph-Humber Faculty:

Winter term is moving into its fourth week and the Campus Bookstores are beginning preparations for our annual inventory. To streamline this process we will begin to return unsold copies of course materials to publishers on February 4. Not all inventory will be returned during this period, but the majority will. We will be keeping a limited amount of course materials, until after the mid-term exam period.

Please remind your students to purchase their required course materials as soon as possible to ensure we have materials available.

Please note the North Campus store will be closed February 17th and the Lakeshore on February 18th for inventory.

Humber partners with Air Canada

Humber is launching a new travel plan and corporate rewards program with Air Canada. Effective immediately, all Humber employees will receive a discounted rate when booking air travel, accommodations or vehicle rentals directly with the airline. The more we travel with Air Canada, the greater the discount and overall savings to the institution. The plan also applies to select Lufthansa Group itineraries. The starting discount for Air Canada travel is five per cent. This may increase depending on the total aggregate spend by all employees.

If you would like to participate in the program, please email purchasing@humber.ca to obtain a login to the Humber specific website that you will use to book travel through Air Canada.

Once you have your login, you may book travel for yourself or for others. If someone else (within or external to Humber) usually books your travel, then they should get a login.

In your email to purchasing, please specify

  1. If you will only make travel arrangements for yourself
  2. If you will make travel arrangements for yourself and others (others includes colleagues or personal, i.e. spouse)
  3. If someone else (i.e. your office manager, a travel agent) will make travel arrangements for you

Program details and a user guide are available at humber.ca/finance

Please note that while participation in this program is voluntary, we encourage the Humber community to use Air Canada whenever practical.

A $5 million donation from The Barrett Family Foundation will give future Humber students the means to study in technology-related fields.

The donation, the largest to the college to date, will be used to create an Access to Education and Skills Training fund, as well as the creation of a new Technology and Innovation Centre.

Key features for the centre include an interactive demonstration floor, mobile technology lab, collaborative learning spaces, a hub to house maker spaces and skills competitions and applied research and development facilities.

The Barrett Family Foundation was established by Bob and his wife Francine to support educational, environmental and humanitarian causes, as well as health and the arts.

“Humber College is grateful to Bob and Francine Barrett and The Barrett Family Foundation for their visionary support to build a leading-edge platform for innovation,” says Audrey McKinney, Chair of the Humber College Board of Governors. “This exceptional gift will further strengthen the college’s reputation in applied technology and engineering. We truly appreciate this investment in our students and their futures.”
