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:

 Festive decorations help to brighten the office and bring holiday cheer. Here are a few tips to make sure this special time of year is fun and safe for everyone:

 

  •  use a proper step stool or ladder to hang ornaments or decorate the tree
  • watch the placement of electrical cords; even Santa’s elves avoid creating trip hazards
  • don’t “daisy chain” electrical cords together or overload outlets
  • ensure wreaths, ornaments and other trimmings do not cover emergency exit signs or block access to fire hose cabinets/fire extinguishers etc.
  • remember to unplug tree lights before leaving for the day!

Health and Safety Services would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy and safe holiday season!
