Hello Everyone,

As dean of the School of Hospitality, Recreation and Tourism, it gives me great pleasure to announce that Humber’s Food and Nutrition Management program has once again been approved by the Canadian Society of Nutrition Management Committee with full accreditation for another five years.

The program, which focuses on health and wellness, has tremendous support from the Program Advisory Committee members, placement employers and our faculty who all have diverse and varied backgrounds, training and experiences and who are committed, passionate and genuinely interested in the FNM program and its students.

With this accreditation, the Food and Nutrition Management program will continue to help prepare our students and give them an ongoing advantage within the industry and workforce.

We thank all members of the Humber community who assisted us in this process and are proud to continue our excellent collaboration with the Canadian Society of Nutrition Management. We are looking forward to watching the continued success of our graduates.Please join me in congratulating Tina Horsley and her team.

Sincerely,

Susan Somerville RD

Have you signed up for Smart Commute's Carpool Zone? We launched this program in fall 2013. On September 8, 2014, Smart Commute transitioned this ride-matching program to one called the 'Smart Commute Tool'.

September 17, 2014

Humber’s International Centre is excited to welcome over 3,000 new and returning international students to Humber this September. To ensure students are prepared for life in Canada, the International Centre runs a number of events and offers key services that support a smooth a transition. One key event is the International Students’ Meet & Greet which is an opportunity for new international students to meet other students, staff, and faculty. We'll enjoy a Canadian BBQ, play a few games, take a #HumberSelfie or two, and new students will be entered in a draw to win some great prizes!

Staff and faculty are invited to join us for these events:
North Campus:
Thursday, September 18, 2014
4:00 – 6:00 pm
More Info
Staff/faculty, please email matthew.mcdonald@humber.ca to RSVP

Lakeshore Campus:
Wednesday, September 25, 2014
3:30 – 5:30 pm
More Info
Staff/faculty, please email kristina.mathias@humber.ca to RSVP

While an informal and enjoyable event, the Meet & Greet focuses on interactions among incoming international students, helping them strengthen their social network at Humber. Peer mentors (through the Connect Buddy Program) take part alongside the International Centre staff and international student ambassadors, facilitating that socialization. We approach this and other events with the understanding that students’ support network needs to be in place if they are to do their best at Humber and in Canada.

We hope to see you there!
