Humber students now have a new way to help fund for their education. Thanks to a partnership with the Higher Ed Points program, students, families, friends and alumni will be able to convert their Aeroplan® Loyalty program miles into funds to offset their college fees.

Every 35,000 Aeroplan Miles will be worth a $250 tuition credit. Students can convert their own points, or family and friends can convert points for a student of their choice. Details about the process can be found at higheredpoints.com/how-it-works.

Later this winter, college supporters will also be able to donate their Aeroplan® Miles to Humber’s charitable pooling account that supports a general scholarships fund for all Humber students.

More information is available at aeroplan.com/donate or by emailing alumni@humber.ca.

The First Year Experience (FYE) is now hiring for Peer Mentors for the Winter 2015 term!

FYE is a peer mentoring program for all first year students at Humber. First year students will have an opportunity to be a part of a group of five - 10 Mentees and the group will be led by an upper-year Peer Mentor. First year students within a Mentee group will be in the same academic program and have the chance to get connected, meet new people and improve their grades. Peer Mentors will organize online chats, get-togethers at the school, study groups and show students the best ways to get involved on campus and inform them about all of the FYE social activities and events on campus. Mentors are here to make sure students have the easiest transition possible into college life!

Do you teach a second-year course or Can we visit you?

We would love to visit classes to let your students know about becoming a Peer Mentor – no more than for a 5 minute visit - anytime from November 25th to the end of the semester. If you would like an FYE rep to visit your class please connect with:

NORTH: Rebeca Mahadeo, Student Life Coordinator (North Campus) at 416.675.6622 ext. 5887 or by email: rebeca.mahadeo@humber.ca
