All New Faculty Welcome
Date: Monday, August 23 at 10 a.m. – 11 a.m.
Humber is a leader in polytechnic education and has identified five core institutional values: Courage, Equity, Innovation, Health & Wellbeing, and Sustainability. Each of these values guides the work that we do.
We invite you to an online welcome session for all new full- and part-time faculty. During the session, you will meet members of Humber’s executive leadership team, learn about our institutional priorities and learner-centered focus, and find out about the training and resources available to you as a faculty member.
New Part-Time Faculty Orientation: Teaching and Learning at Humber College
Dates: Monday, August 23 at 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. & Wednesday, August 25 at 10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
Humber’s Teaching +Learning is looking forward to welcoming our new part-time faculty to Humber! We strive to create and facilitate authentic and meaningful faculty development experiences that promote and support teaching excellence. In this session, members of our team will introduce you to the professional supports and opportunities that are available to you as part-time faculty and share strategies on how to prepare for the start of the academic year.
In Celebration of Educators by Keynote Speaker: Anthony McLean
Date: Friday, August 27 at 9 a.m. – 10:15 a.m.
This is an encouraging, morale-boosting talk to inspire educators who give their best every day. Teachers and administrators are often overwhelmed and sometimes feel burnt out by the end of the week. In the midst of a busy year, it’s easy to forget that the daily interactions we have with students are sometimes the most valuable moments of our day.
In this laugh-out-loud presentation, Anthony McLean tells funny and inspiring stories about the teachers and administrators who changed his life by acknowledging his effort, encouraging his strengths, and pushing him to give his best. Every educator needs this reminder — the reward for not giving up on our students is the ability to make a difference and change the world one student at a time.
ED-Venture Days
Dates: Thursday, August 26 & Friday, August 27
Two days filled with interactive sessions, panel discussions, Q&A, keynote speakers, and more! ED-Venture Days aims to connect Humber colleagues with each other and foster deep interdisciplinary conversations focused on teaching and learning.
