L space gallery wants your opinion about our current place within the Humber community (e.g. faculty and students). The survey will gather feedback about what offerings people would like to see at the gallery, what are the barriers which keep them away from the gallery space, and what they have enjoyed thus far. These opinions will provide valuable feedback to enable the gallery's current pathways and future directions for enhancing experiences for students and staff.

The survey will take approximately five - 10 minutes and upon survey completion you will be entered into a draw to win one of three Fitbits.

We are also looking for faculty to distribute the survey to their students. Any interested faculty can email Ashley Watson at ashley.watson@humber.ca for the material.

Your feedback and opinion are extremely valuable to us.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,  


the L space Gallery Team

Reminder! Strategic Plan Town Hall this Thursday, January 30, 2014

President Whitaker has committed to hosting regular Town Hall Meetings to engage with faculty and staff throughout implementation of the 2013-18 Strategic Plan. To date, we have held two Town Halls on the topics of 'Differentiation and Strengthening Our Polytechnic Identity' and 'Living Our Values as a Learning Organization' (please visit www.humber.ca/wearehumber and follow the links to see the video stream).

Town Hall Meeting #3: Understanding Strategic Enrolment Management (or, What the Heck is SEM?!)
What is a strategic enrolment management approach? How can we support learners throughout the student lifecycle? What is the SEM Advisory Council and how will it work? Humber’s 2013-18 Strategic Plan identifies the development of a strategic enrolment management framework as a key strategy to Strengthen Our Polytechnic Identity and realize our Sustained Commitment to Teaching and Learning Excellence. As we consider what makes Humber unique within the context of postsecondary differentiation in Ontario, understanding how a home-grown, Humber-specific SEM framework will support students and shape our programs and services is essential to our success.

Join us on Thursday, January 30 for a light lunch and interesting conversation about Humber’s approach to strategic enrolment management. All Town Hall Meetings are live-streamed by the Media Services team to the strategic plan webpage for staff at www.humber.ca/wearehumber. You can watch and participate online. The dialogue promises to be lively… mark all Town Hall dates in your calendar!
