Hello Humber community,
I am pleased and excited to announce that Ariel Lewis will be moving into the role of Administration and Communications Coordinator for FSCS and the Humber Lakeshore Principal’s Office, effective Monday, August 7, 2023. Ariel joined Humber College in November of 2022 as a Program Support Officer with the FSCS, supporting the social portfolio programs. In the Program Support Officer role, Ariel provided a comprehensive range of support and leadership services to faculty and staff and gained a valuable understanding of Humber College landscape. Since joining Humber in 2022, she has been a dedicated, driven, and enthusiastic member of the faculty and the larger Humber Lakeshore community, involved in a variety of projects including volunteering with Humber’s GARDENS Pod Project and at LAMP Community Health Centre. As the Administration and Communications Coordinator, Ariel will be responsible for strategic communications, confidential and complex administrative support and leadership, coordination and oversight of various committees and regularly occurring meetings and liaising with internal and external stakeholders for projects and communications.
Ariel brings several years of experience in communications, event management, and post-secondary administration to the role, working for institutions including Centennial College, the University of Toronto, and CBC/Radio Canada. She has excellent interpersonal, organizational and communication skills, which will help her excel in this role. Ariel has a bachelor’s degree in English Literature from the University of Toronto and is also a Humber alumnus, having completed a postgraduate certificate in Radio Broadcasting.
Please join me in welcoming Ariel to her new role!

After a wonderful 20-year career at Humber, Sarah-Jane Greenway is moving on to a new role as Director, Academic Planning at Seneca College in late August.
In a career that spanned the Registrar’s Office, Program Planning Development & Renewal, and the Academic Division, Sarah-Jane led successful initiatives in the areas of recruitment, admissions, records, registration, fees, program reviews, degree consent renewals, program mapping, curriculum changes, and student success and engagement.
In 2018, Sarah-Jane moved to the Academic Division, first as Acting Associate Dean in the School of Creative & Performing Arts, and later as Associate Dean, Journalists & Writers in the Faculty of Media & Creative Arts. As a very experienced and accomplished administrator with profound institutional knowledge, strong leadership skills and kind and generous management style, Sarah-Jane established herself as a key resource for her peers, faculty and support staff teams managing effectively what has proven to be a period of intense and accelerated change.
I am personally very grateful for all Sarah-Jane’s contributions to our team and for her generous support to me and the rest of the team every time it was needed. I will miss having Sarah-Jane as part of our leadership team.
Please join me in wishing Sarah-Jane the very best in this new chapter in her career.
Sincerely,
Guillermo Acosta
Senior Dean, Faculty of Media & Creative Arts

The International Development Institute's project partners from Kenya, Bhutan, Peru and Indonesia enrolled in Humber College's Global Summer School Program 2023.
Nine of IDI's international project partners had the opportunity to travel to Humber College on a month-long exchange for knowledge-sharing, promoting cultural understanding and diversity, and fostering global relationships.
The group attended classes daily to enhance and develop their knowledge, skills and capacity in hands-on learning opportunities in the classroom. The group of nine also continued their educational journey at Humber outside of the classroom by fostering relationships with one another and learning and appreciating diverse cultures and differing perspectives.
The Global Summer School was a fantastic opportunity for IDI's international partners to meet each other and share their knowledge, expertise and overall learning experiences. The program contributed to the development of individuals, organizations, and societies while fostering global cooperation and addressing pressing global challenges.

Our newly unveiled logo features elements that symbolize unity, diversity, and the empowerment of individuals. The design captures the balanced integration of accessibility and the spirit of student life at our college.
We invite you to take a moment to view the logo and learn more about the values it represents and the inspiration behind its creation.
Included in our symbolism:
We encourage you to embrace this collaborative effort by using the logo in your digital communications, presentations, and various materials when referring to Accessible Learning.
