FYE is a peer mentoring program for all first year students at Humber. First year students will have an opportunity to be a part of a group of  five - 10 Mentees and the group will be led by an upper-year Peer Mentor. First year students within a Mentee group will be in the same academic program and have the chance to get connected, meet new people and improve their grades. Peer Mentors will organize online chats, get-togethers at the school, study groups and show students the best ways to get involved on campus and inform them about all of the FYE social activities and events on campus. Mentors are here to make sure students have the easiest transition possible into college life!

Spread the Word! help us recruit strong upper year students to volunteer as Peer Mentors by sending them to our website: humber.ca/first-year-experience.

For more information, please connect with Rebeca Mahadeo, Student Life Coordinator (North Campus) at 416.675.6622 ext. 5887 or by email: rebeca.mahadeo@humber.ca

Dear Colleagues,

With your help, I have managed to put together 19 fully stocked gift bags for the Evergreen Youth Shelter/Yonge Street Mission. The staff at the Evergreen Youth Shelter was very happy and appreciative when I arrived with the gift bags, winter coats, gloves and hats.

I would like to thank the Humber Community for their donations over the years; Human Resources (especially Sherry Fast at the North Campus) and the Registrar’s Office (especially Jennifer Hannah at the Lakeshore Campus) for being my drop off locations.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

Sincerely,

Joe Bowden – School of Creative and Performing Arts

Dear colleagues,

As another fall semester draws to a close, I want to say thank you to all of you who have supported the Humber Gives campaign this year. Thanks to your generosity in supporting Humber students, together we have raised over $28,000 - 40% of our goal.

Please consider joining us. Your donation is put to use right away and allows us to help more students. More than 50% of full-time students rely on loans from the government and as enrollment increases, so will the demand for financial aid.

It is easy to make a donation. Simply download the form to make a donation through payroll deduction, cheque or credit card. You can choose where you want your gift to go, and every gift makes a difference. You can also contact the Office of Advancement & Alumni Relations at 416.673.0152 to make your gift over the phone.

While the campaign will run until March 31, 2014, in order to receive a charitable tax receipt for this year, your donation must be received by December 31, 2013.  Watch this video to learn about the impact your gifts make:
