Humber’s 2013-2018 Strategic Plan calls for the development of a number of collaborative processes that will aid the college in supporting the success of our students and which will help to define our future enrolment goals. The first pillar of the Strategic Plan is entitled, “Strengthening our Polytechnic Identity”, and one of the goals related to this pillar includes the optimization and differentiation of Humber’s programs, credentials and services.  An initiative underway aimed at helping us achieve this goal is the development of a strategic enrolment management (SEM) framework and plan. 

We would like to announce that a cross-functional SEM Advisory Council has been established.  The work of this Council will include conducting an inventory of current enrolment management activities across the college, establishing baselines and targets for enrolment, maximizing the use of data to support enrolment management decisions, and guiding the assessment and improvement of programs and services against key student success and outcomes measures.  Successful implementation of the SEM framework and plan will lead to outcomes such as the development of new interdisciplinary Centres of Innovation, an increased focus on pathways, and the addressing of skills shortages as the market for graduate employment continues to evolve.

Many of the tasks of the SEM Advisory Council will build on past successes, and will involve the evolution of procedures to include a more collaborative cross-functional approach to decision making. Similar to the Executive Advisory Council, processes and ways of doing things will take time to develop, and require interim plans while structures are established.

The membership of the SEM Advisory Council was determined based on institutional role.  In cases where multiple, similar positions exist (i.e. dean, associate dean and faculty members) representatives were selected by the co-chairs after a nomination process. 

The SEM Advisory Council is comprised of the individuals listed below.

The initial meeting of the SEM Advisory Council will take place January 28, 2014. A plan to regularly update the Humber community will be developed.

The L Space Gallery is thrilled to launch our new blog, Art in Access!

Art in Access was created to stimulate conversation and bridge the gap between students and practicing artists. As part of our commitment to encourage learning at all levels, we are proud to feature posts written by Humber students.

Our mission, online and offine, is to actively engage students, staff, faculty, and the community through the development of exhibitions and programming that support and enrich the application of education. The blog was developed by Jessica Salloum, a post-graduate Public Relations student at Humber College.

Read our first post, "Femmeldehyde – Connecting Artists and Art Lovers One Issue at a Time", which features the success of Humber grads. You can access the blog here: lspacegallery.wordpress.com.
