Student Success & Engagement’s Leadership Programs is hosting its 7th Annual Leadership Retreat from Saturday, January 23 to Sunday, January 24, 2021. This will be our first year hosting the retreat in an online format and we hope to make it as fun, engaging, and formative an experience as the in-person version.

This is a great opportunity for students to pursue leadership development, network with other student leaders, and set personal development goals. Participation is completely free.

*Acceptance to the retreat is not guaranteed. Leadership Programs will be accepting approximately 40 students to attend. The application deadline is January 8, 2021.

For more information and to apply, students should visit http://www.humber.ca/studentleadership/retreat/virtual.

From introducing students to library resources, supports, and services to developing students’ research skills, Humber Libraries can support your classes:  

1. Introducing our virtual, self-guided library tour: Featuring videos and short activities, students will explore the library website, learn about library supports and services, search Discover, and more in this basic, self-guided and interactive library tour. Integrate this into a first-year class as a helpful addition to your course learning materials. Contact your librarian to embed this library tour into your Blackboard course site.  

2. Ready Set Research! The library is hosting three virtual interactive library orientations in January. Share these workshops with your students as a primer for library research:  

Workshop Dates:  

• Friday, January 22: 11 a.m. – 12 p.m.
• Friday, January 22: 2 p.m. – 3 p.m.
• Tuesday, January 26: 11a.m. – 12 p.m.

3. Explore our Research and Digital Literacy Instruction Menu or connect with your librarian to integrate research skills and library resources into your assignments. Your librarian can lead interactive workshops based on your research assignments in Blackboard Collaborate, or create online Blackboard learning modules for enhanced asynchronous learning.  

Hello, Hawk Family!

We wanted to invite you to a Humber vs Seneca Activity Challenge. It’s been a while since we have been able to compete against another college, so let’s show them how Hawk Strong we really are.

Activity Challenge Dates:

Date: Monday, January 18 to Sunday, January 31, 2021

1) Download the Pacer App on your phone (Icon is blue with a running shoe) and/or use the link below.

Link to Challenge: https://www.mypacer.com/organizations/zf81910/invite
Alternatively, you can use the Challenge code: zf81910

2) Select TEAM HUMBER

Manual Entry for other activities:

This challenge is a step challenge on the app but you can convert any activity into steps. 

Forgot your phone or wearable or did another activity? No problem, here’s how to enter it manually:

1. Click on the Shoe item at the bottom of your screen
2. Scroll down to “Log My Health Data” and click on “Activity” and select the activity.  
3. Use our conversion charts to calculate your steps. (We will post on our Instagram, but you can also Google)
   Example: one minute of yoga = 45 steps. If you did 10 minutes, this would equal 450 steps.
4. Log the duration, steps and date and click save.
5. Converting your activity into steps will allow them to count towards the challenge. If you do not convert into steps they won’t be counted.
6. You can also link any of your wearables or phone health apps to this so it will automatically count your steps.

Check out our Instagram for more information starting Monday, January 18, 2021.
