It is with great pleasure that I announce that Dr. Rebecca Milburn has accepted the position of Associate Dean, Preparatory Programs and Mathematics in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences, effective Monday, August 13, 2012.
Rebecca began her career at Humber over ten years ago in the School of Applied Technology where she held progressive leadership roles within the engineering program cluster and culminating as Program Coordinator in the Chemical Engineering Technology Program.
In 2009, she joined the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences as a faculty member in the Department of Mathematics where she quickly expanded her research interests and began to focus her attention on assisting under-prepared students. In January 2011, she assumed the position of Program Coordinator in the General Arts and Science program area responsible for the Health, Science and Technology Certificate program.
Rebecca holds a PhD. in chemistry from York University and has also earned a graduate degree in Education from Central Michigan University where she focused her studies on predictors of student success. She has earned several research grants at Humber, most recently a SSHRC Institutional Grant with Jean Choi and Brett Reynolds, to continue her work on student success and to assist under-prepared students.
Rebecca is a highly dedicated teacher who believes that developing interdisciplinary curriculum promotes creativity and further develops critical thinking skills that are essential to future career success. Her extensive experience inside the classroom teaching in mathematics and science, combined with her expertise leading curriculum development that is both reflective and responsive to changing student and industry needs will allow her to bring that academic leadership necessary to this diverse portfolio.
On behalf of the entire LAS community, let me say that we look forward to working with Rebecca on many exciting, new initiatives that will increase the capacity of our General Arts and Science, Mathematics and Academic Upgrading departments to provide students with the knowledge, skills and abilities to continue their educational journeys at Humber and abroad.
Please join me in congratulating Rebecca and welcoming her to her new role.

Chris Whitaker began his tenure this week as Humber’s new President and CEO. He is the fourth president in Humber’s history.
While Whitaker’s first order of business is to talk to students, faculty and staff to learn more about Humber and to get the pulse of the organization, he plans to build on Humber’s strengths and core values including our breadth of programs, range of credentials and pathways between them, a dedicated and experienced faculty, community support and a reputation for having a student-focused, high-quality teaching and learning environment.
“I’m fortunate in that my incoming challenge is to maintain and build on the great things happening at Humber. I’m excited to talk to the Humber community. I want to know what students and employees think we do well and where we can improve,” says Whitaker. Ultimately, everything we do should support student success in the classroom. I want to continue to foster an innovative and quality educational experience that results in students graduating and going on to the careers they desire.”
Quick Facts:
Prior to Humber, Whitaker was President and CEO at St. Lawrence College. He also held the roles of VP Academic and Dean of the School of Business at St. Lawrence.
Whitaker’s strong academic background includes a Ph.D from University of Toronto, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, an MA from York University and a BA from Queen’s University.
Whitaker is married with three children. He enjoys spending time at his cottage, running, reading and cheering on his favourite hockey team (hint, they wear a blue and white uniform)
