A friendly reminder that the deadline for Vitrine Display proposals is this Friday, September 26th by 5 p.m. Please email tara.mazurk@humber.ca to receive an application.
Want an opportunity to share the work that you do with the Humber community? This year, Humber's L Space gallery will be launching Vitrine Displays, which are mini-exhibitions situated in glass cases around the North and Lakeshore Campuses. These displays are presented 24/7, for 4-6 week runs.
The vitrines provide a public space for Humber departments and programs to pilot a project, promote new initiatives, and/or create learning opportunities for students.
WHY?
- To improve the social, psychological and academic performance of international students as they transition to life in Canada and at Humber College ITAL.
- To enhance the feeling of hospitality on campus for new international students.
- To enhance the intercultural experience and cross-cultural knowledge of staff and faculty. Participation in this program will allow faculty, staff and admin to enrich their intercultural perspectives and communication skills while gaining a greater understanding of the goals, motivations and difficulties experienced by international students.
WHO CAN BE PART OF THE WELCOME TEAM?
The project will be open to all interested full and part-time faculty, staff and admin at Humber College ITAL. (Participation in the program is entirely voluntary.)
WHAT IS THE TIME COMMITMENT?
- Attend the Meet & Greet session.
- Attend at least two (2) Buddy Program organized events during each term (e.g. Initial Meet & Greet, International Cafe, Pot Luck Dinner etc.).
- Meet with your buddy at least two (2) times outside of any Buddy Program organized event during each term.

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
Dean, School of Hospitality, Recreation & Tourism

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'.
All users who currently have a Carpool Zone account have been sent an email clearly outlining the steps they can take to transfer their account to the 'Smart Commute tool'.
Please make sure you transition your account so you can continue to find carpool matches to help make your commute to campus more sustainable! And with a carpool buddy or group, you can get a carpool permit and park in the new preferred spaces!
