Invitation to all Humber professors and instructors from the Experiential Learning Working Group

The Experiential Learning Working Group provides oversight to the following priorities and supporting actions under Strategic Pillar 1 – Career Ready Citizens – 2018-2023 Strategic Plan.

• Strategic Priority 1: Transform education by creating opportunities for all students to participate in meaningful experiential learning, with a focus on work-integrated learning and applied research.
  • Supporting Action 2: Expand the value and availability of experiential learning by establishing a tiered organizational framework to promote, develop, implement and manage experiential learning opportunities.
  • Supporting Action 4: Create a closer integration of applied research, program curriculum and experiential learning outcomes.

• Strategic priority 2: Establish strong, sustainable collaborations with industry, community, international and alumni partners that create unique learning experiences for our students and reciprocal benefits for our partners.
  • Supporting Action 1: Engage and support industry and community providers of experiential learning through clearly defined roles and responsibilities, a seamless Humber experience, and mutually beneficial communication and interaction.

We have been holding consultations across the College with various stakeholders about experiential learning at Humber. The sessions noted below are for professors and instructors to participate, share their experiences and provide input. The goal of this session is to explore best practices and to share how we can enhance experiential learning and work-integrated learning across the College.

Since 2014, Humber College has been hosting an annual gathering called the Indigenous Knowledge Gathering. Over the past six years, thousands of Indigenous and non-Indigenous learners have gathered to share ideas on a variety of topics. Each year the gathering grows and explores new areas of conversation!

For the 2019/2020 academic year, we are excited to announce our upcoming #IndigenousKnowledgesGathering will be happening this fall from November 21 to 23.

Educating the Heart, Mind, Body and Spirit

This year’s theme, Educating the Heart, Mind, Body and Spirit, envisions an education system deeply connected to place, community, and planet. IKG will bring students, educators, and communities together once again to explore the knowledges, skills, and education strategies required to build a better future. IKG will feature an exciting program of keynote presentations, networking, interactive workshops, and breakout discussion circles, alongside rich cultural programming. 

This is an extremely valuable opportunity for all staff and faculty to attend as professional development, along with the potential to add this gathering to your critical path for students to further their education.

Please register through our website.
