Humber’s sustainability initiatives were the subject of an article in the September 2015 edition of In-procurement, written by Purchasing Services manager, Emily Eyre. The article outlines the school’s commitment to sustainability and the role it plays in strategic planning and other internal practices. See page 32 of the electronic issue, which can be found at: issuu.com/in-procurementmagazine/docs/september_2015
A thank you to the Sustainability Coordinating Committee (SCC), faculty and others who have embraced and incorporated sustainability concepts into student curriculum and work procedures. This will continue to have a positive effect on Humber and the community at large.

Dear Colleagues,
Early in the morning, July 8 2015, Peter Olsen passed away peacefully.
Peter was born in Denmark in 1946, immigrated to Canada at the age of 11 with his parents, John and Elsebeth, who established the flourishing Royal City Nursery at the corner of Woodlawn Road and the Hanlon Expressway, back in 1962.
Peter was a horticulturalist at heart, always stopping to pull a weed or unsheathing his secateurs to prune just one more branch. The love and passion for all things landscape led Peter to become a student in the first Horticulture Apprenticeship program at Humber College. He went on to teach horticulture at Humber College for 35 years, until last winter.
The Olsen family has set up a scholarship fund in Peter’s name. To find out more about the fund or to donate click here: Peter Olsen Horticulture Apprenticeship Scholarship Fund, courtesy of the Ontario Horticulture Trades Foundation or contact us at 519.824.4998.

WE ARE READY! Marketing and Communications is pleased to announce that the fully redesigned humber.ca website went live on Tuesday, September 15, 2015.
The launch date was established to ensure we were through our critical Fall registration process before making any changes. With the recent launch of our new site we are in an even better position to support student success. Thank you to everyone for your input, comments and participation in what was a highly collaborative project, and a special thank you to everyone who participated in the pre-launch testing.
As you explore the new site some of the things you will see include:
By offering a more intuitive navigation structure along with a template approach to page styles, students will have a more consistent and satisfying user experience. And the site has been designed to work on all devices (PC to tablet to smartphone) and continues to be fully AODA (level AA) compliant.
The scope of the redesign focused on the core humber.ca site. Next steps will include extending this style and structure to the many associated pages and sub-sites. We look forward to working with Schools, departments and third party web developers to deliver a fully integrated approach to our entire web site and its new look.
Should you experience any technical issues please send an email to webmaster@humber.ca. For the first few weeks following the site launch we will be collecting feedback using the feedback tab on the right-hand side of most pages. We welcome your comments - and because web sites are continuously evolving - we will work towards incorporating whatever is feasible.
Accessing Humber information just got easier for students with the launch of the MyHumber Mobile App.
Building on the MyHumber.ca website, the app allows students to sign in and access key information, including:
The app also features information for campus visitors, which is available without signing in. This includes transit schedules (North campus only) and campus maps.
Available for free from the Apple and Android app stores, the MyHumber Mobile App will also provide convenient access to Humber’s website and social media channels.
