On Thursday October 8th, 130 students, faculty and staff of the Humber-Ningbo and Humber-Jimei programs gathered together to celebrate the Moon Festival and Thanksgiving.
It was an evening full of fun, with friendly competitions, great raffle prizes, a silent auction and a traditional lion dance.
The event was an opportunity for everyone to give thanks and give back. All proceeds from the evening went to support United Way. The group raised over $1100 in just two hours.

It is with great sadness that I inform you of the passing of our esteemed colleague and friend Eric Dymond. Eric, a longstanding faculty member of the School of Media Studies & Information Technology passed away unexpectedly at home.
Always an innovator, Eric's student-centered approach to teaching and kind and compassionate demeanor, made him a very effective professor who earned the respect and affection of peers, staff and especially, students. Eric was a fantastic team player, always eager to collaborate with peers and students to continuously improve teaching and learning. He made invaluable contributions to the teaching of Information Technology subjects in our school. A talented and accomplished artist with a curious and analytical mind, Eric had that rare combination of right brain and left brain thinking that allowed him to effectively share his vast knowledge and creativity with his students and peers.
Eric's departure is a big loss for our school. He will be missed by many.
Friends may call at the Turner & Porter Yorke Chapel, 2357 Bloor St. W., at Windermere, east of the Jane Subway on Monday from 6 – 9 p.m. Funeral Service will be held in the Chapel on Tuesday, October 13, 2015 at 3:30 p.m. If desired, remembrances may be made to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada. Online condolences may be made through turnerporter.permavita.com/site/EricDymond.html?s=120.
Sincerely,
Guillermo Acosta
Dean, School of Media Studies & Information Technology

Message from Laurie Rancourt, Senior Vice-President, Academic and Alister Mathieson, Vice-President, Advancement and External Affairs
1. Education and Training Solutions Reorganization
Within the context of Humber’s strategic priority of maximizing the impact of partnerships, and in alignment with our goal of enhancing Humber’s Corporate Training initiatives, the college has undertaken an operational and financial review of Education and Training Solutions (ETS), and its department’s business units, along with our ad hoc corporate training initiatives.
As a result of the review, Humber has realigned and reorganized the roles and responsibilities of its ETS division. The changes are as follows:
- The ETS and its director, Karen Tavener, will now report directly to Alister Mathieson
- Humber’s new Corporate Training business development initiative will be incorporated into ETS. In this approach, ETS will partner with Humber academic schools and departments from a content development and delivery perspective. Schools and departments have already been involved in the design of a corporate training framework and business plan
- Youth initiatives including camps and other activities related to providing opportunities for potential future students to learn more about Humber will move to the Division of Student and Community Engagement, under the direction of Jason Hunter, Vice-President, Student & Community Engagement. These programs will be closely aligned with Strategic Enrolment Management objectives in support of the college’s access mandate.
These changes and decisions are part of Humber’s ongoing delivery on components of our strategic and business plans and our ongoing efforts of continuous process improvement. Our new direction will enable the academic division to continue to provide effective and relevant corporate training in a more co-ordinated manner while allowing the college to add significant value to its existing partners and open doors for new ones.
2. Sailing Centre Closure
Another decision resulting from the ETS operational and financial review is that after 25 years Humber will close the Sailing and Power Boating Centre, effective October 8, 2015.
This difficult decision is due to diminishing returns as a result of declining enrolment in summer and winter classes along with increasing costs to run programs and maintain equipment.
Humber will be notifying students and the sailing club members of its decision, and will seek to sell boats owned by the institution over the next few weeks.
We would like to thank our club patrons, local community and staff and faculty for their many contributions to the sailing program.
Please contact Laurie or Alister if you have any questions.
