2014 Environmental Scan

When:

December 10, 2014

Environmental scanning is an important and ongoing activity that supports strategic planning, institutional decision-making and resource allocation. In partnership with data holders from across the college, the Strategic Planning & Institutional Analysis (SPIA) unit collects, analyzes and communicates institutional data related to students, faculty, programs and finances. These data are tracked and benchmarked over time, as we consider our reality in the context of our competitors both local and global.

The 2014 Environmental Scan was researched and developed over the summer of 2014 and serves as an update of the 2012 Environmental Scan, which was produced to share with the Humber Board of Governors, college leaders and the broader campus community in the very early stages of the 2012-13 strategic planning process undertaken to develop the 2013-18 Strategic Plan. 

Find the 2014 Environmental Scan at humber.ca/wearehumber and check back often for new material and analysis. Please don't hesitate to contact us at strategicplanning@humber.ca with any questions or ideas.

Congratulations to the Humber-Lakeshore DECA U member, Krishna Latchman, who came in 1st place at the Social Entrepreneurship Conference held at Ryerson University on October 31st.

Dear Humber staff, students and faculty,

Congratulations on completing the Fall semester. As 2014 comes to a close and the Humber community disperses for the holidays, we wanted to take this opportunity to wish you safe travels and remind you of ways to help maintain a healthy campus environment upon your return in January.

As the cold and flu season continues through the winter months, you can help stop the spread of germs by:

  • Washing or sanitizing your hands frequently
  • Coughing or sneezing into a tissue - and putting the used tissue in a waste basket and not in your purse or pocket
  • If you don't have a tissue, sneezing or coughing into your sleeve or arm - NOT your hands
  • Staying home if you aren't feeling well

And if you are travelling over the holidays, especially to places affected by travel advisories, please take a moment to ask yourself the following questions as you prepare to return to campus:

  • Do you have a fever/are you feeling feverish?
  • Do you have a severe headache or muscle pain?
  • Do you have diarrhea or are you vomiting?
  • Do you have a sore throat or stomach pain?
  • Are you feeling unusually weak or fatigued, or experiencing chills?

If you answer yes to any of the above questions, please contact your health care provider and mention your recent travel.

For more information or if you have any questions, please contact, Humber Health Centre:

  • North Campus: 416.675.5090
  • Lakeshore Campus: 416.675.6622 x3111
  • Toronto Public Health: Dial 3-1-1

Happy holidays and we hope you have an enjoyable vacation!

Decorating the office for the holiday season?

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!

Having an office party?

  • Be careful not to leave perishable food out for more than two hours – put food back in the refrigerator.
  • Watch for holiday clutter such as boxes and bags and other potential tripping hazards.
  • Wash your hands frequently – it is flu season!

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