The Humber College Institute of Technology & Advanced Learning (Humber College) has identified as its Strategic Priority #7 under Pillar #3, Healthy and Inclusive Community, to continue to build a diverse and inclusive community of exceptional students, faculty and staff. The specific supporting action is to establish and implement an institutional framework and strategy for equity, diversity and inclusion that addresses the needs of both students and employees.

The EDI Taskforce was created to lead this initiative. This institutional EDI framework and strategy will address the following four (4) program areas:

  1. Access & Equity: Students and Employees
  2. Curriculum and Programs
  3. Campus Culture
  4. College-wide Communication and Engagement Strategy

The Access & Equity: Employees Working Group’s deliverable is to enhance recruitment, retention and advancement for equity-seeking groups and have developed a number of objectives and recommendations that will shape the EDI strategic framework.

You are invited to a lunch and feedback session where we will seek your input on these draft objectives and recommendations.

Lunch and feedback session details:

Time: 12 p.m. – 1 p.m.

Albert Marshall - Two Eyed Seeing - February 18th 6:30 - 8:30 at Humber College Lakeshore Campus

Mi’kmaq Elder Albert Marshall, lives in the community of Eskasoni in the Traditional Territory of Mi’kma’ki. He has worked tirelessly to develop and nurture collaborative understandings about our responsibilities as human beings.

In this talk, Albert will explore Etuaptumumk/Two-Eyed Seeing as a way of bringing together the strengths of Indigenous and Western ways of knowing, seeing and being, for the benefit of all.

This will be an amazing opportunity for all Humber faculty and staff, who are interested in learning more about Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing. As well, this is also a great opportunity for students to enhance their understanding of Indigenous perspectives and worldviews.

Shakespeare After Class: Discussion Group
View in full page
  • When:
    February 18, 2020 6:00pm

Come discuss Shakespeare! Once per month we look at a play by Shakespeare from the perspective that Shakespeare might have something to teach us (rather than the other way around) about politics and human nature. Open to interested Humber faculty, administrators and support staff. You don’t need a background in English literature to attend.

Our play for February is Richard II and we meet Tuesday, February 18 at 6 p.m. in E205, North Campus, Faculty of Business, Boardroom (E204F). Richard II is a history play that explores the downfall of a monarch who rules by divine right and is supplanted by a more modern breed of political king. This play has some of the most beautiful passages in Shakespeare and explores the exercise of political power, Richard's identity crisis as he is deposed, the strengths and weaknesses of monarchy, and the background to England's bloody War of the Roses.

Note our play for March will be Macbeth on Monday, March 16, with Measure for Measure on Monday, April 13.

Free text at opensourceshakespeare.org 

Arden, Signet, and Oxford editions of Shakespeare are also good.

Videos: Humber College Library has all of the BBC (early 1980’s) videos available which can be watched online. The BBC version of the play features the talents of Derek Jacobi, and Sir John Gielgud. A more recent film version (2012) features Ben Whishaw is also excellent.

RSVP to Kirk Rintoul, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Business at kirk.rintoul@humber.ca.

Limited to 16 confirmed attendees (waiting list if necessary)

The Educational Technology Committee (ETC) is hosting a series of free ETC Virtual Lunch and Learn Webinars!

Students and faculty can sometimes be overwhelmed by all of the digital learning technologies available to them at their institution. What should I use? How do I use it? What have I missed? Where do I start? At Fleming there is a new starting place, the Digital Learning TechBank. It’s a space where all of the digital learning options available to students and faculty are listed to ease that decision-making process. Each tool has its own page that details the who, what, when, where, why and how. Join this session for an overview of this resource and how it is used at Fleming and to begin work on a plan for creating your own techbank for your institute.

Presenter:Terry Greene, Fleming College
