The CCBI and Humber Galleries offer amazing co-creation opportunities for Humber students each summer. These opportunities allow students to work on multidisciplinary creative outcomes, while building up their skills and growing their networks. This year we are happy to announce that we will be bringing back five fellowships! Students can apply for all five and receive the opportunity to work on one of the following projects; Intercultural and Creative Music Fellowship, Culture's Compass, Indigenous Transmedia Fellowship, Tiny Town, and Nuit Blanche Fellowship. The job postings are now available for students to apply through Career Connect until March 13, 2022.

We are excited to share details of the 2021-2022 Support Staff Professional Development (SSPD) week that focuses on Support Staff’s professional development and other engaging activities. This year will mark our 32nd year celebrating a Support Staff development event. 

This year, all sessions will be delivered online over the course of five days from Monday, February 28 to Friday, March 4.

Our Support Staff are vitally important in helping us deliver on our programs and services to students and employees. This year’s Professional Development Event is themed to focus on taking care of our Support Staff while they take care of us and therefore will emphasize topics such as work-life balance and well-being, resilience, personal growth, and resolving conflict.  We have arranged nine speakers that will deliver on these topics.  

Registration for the sessions is open to all support staff employees (full-time, part-time, casual, temporary) to participate in. 

Please visit the Support Staff Professional Development Event website to view and register for the sessions.
