Biography:

As the Vice-Dean of Faculty Affairs & Equity at the University of Toronto Scarborough (UTSC), Professor Maydianne Andrade shows the strength diversity brings to an organization through actively promoting the hiring, retention, and success of a diverse and inclusive faculty. Through her informative and eye-opening talks, she speaks to the harm that unconscious biases have on both individuals and organizations, and provides techniques and solutions to resolve and mitigate those negative effects to create more positive and fair workplaces.

Andrade earned her Ph.D. in Neurobiology and Behaviour from Cornell University and has been a professor at UTSC for more than 18 years, becoming the Vice Dean, Faculty Affairs and Equity in 2017. In this role, she advises on academic equity issues; faculty advancement, promotions, mentorship, and recognition; and, oversees all academic HR matters including the selection and training of Dean’s Assessors, labour relations and grievances, and more. In 2019, Andrade received the Ludwik and Estelle Jus Memorial Human Rights Prize from the University of Toronto Alumni Association for her work initiating conversations about race, gender, and bias.

Today, innovation is vital for every organization. Yet each of us approaches problem-solving differently. Understanding your particular approach toward innovating can enable success in our ever-changing world. The Foursight workshop supports the “people side” of innovation. The one-day workshop is designed for innovators who want to help individuals and teams build the mindset and skillsets that support creative thinking, collaborative problem solving and cultures of innovation.

On the first part of the workshop, the FourSight will give you and your team the insight into each individual's preferred way of clarifying, generating, developing, and implementing ideas. How? By asking a series of simple questions. Each has been carefully developed and thoroughly researched to provide a clear perspective of how you can innovate with others most effectively.

On the second part, using the insights from the learning in the FourSight Thinking Assessment, you will explore the four-step creative problem solving (CPS) process —clarify, ideate, develop and implement. Participants will apply their learning to a real challenge that they are facing in their current work.

Dates:

• North Campus, D224J
  February 24, 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.
  (lunch provided)
• Lakeshore Campus, G Commons B

Join us in this practical one-hour session, as we work to improve your comfort by learning about the proper way to set up an office workstation. An ergonomist from PROergonomics will be on campus to deliver a brief training session, followed by a personal assessment at your desk. 

Training (one-hour): topics covered in the group session will include:

• Proper working height
• Chair set-up
• Keyboard/mouse set-up
• Monitor set-up
• How to use accessories (i.e. headset, foot rest, etc.)

Mini-assessments (20-minutes each): after the group training, session attendees will have an opportunity to sign up for a one-on-one assessment of their office workstation. You must attend the training to be eligible for a personalized assessment. 

In each 20-minute time slot, an ergonomist will discuss your concerns, ensure your existing equipment is set up correctly and recommend measures that ensure your workstation is fit to you. You select the timeslot and the ergonomist will come to your desk.

Facilitator: Jennifer McGillis, PROergonomics

Spaces are limited. To register, please email pamela.homiak@humber.ca and indicate the campus where your workstation is located.
