Welcome to Showcase 2018! This year’s theme is Pulse, reflecting the energy and dynamic environment of the Humber community. This inspiring event will showcase the work of Humber staff and faculty who every day in their work stay #OnThePulse of what is new and innovative in post-secondary education. The pulse of Humber reflects our commitment to learning, innovation and student success.

Proposals are now open!  We are accepting proposals from April 16 – May 7, 2018. Submit your workshop, marketplace or poster proposal to humber.ca/showcase.

WORKSHOPS:
A workshop is a 30 or 60 minute session for you to share ideas with your colleagues at Humber. Examples of workshops have included: new initiatives, research, an innovative teaching and learning practice, your area of expertise, emerging trends etc. Your workshop should be interactive whenever possible.

MARKETPLACE:
Marketplace  can best be described as a fair, where different schools and departments come to showcase what they do and how they support the Humber community both internally and externally. Marketplace exhibitors can highlight recent, current or future Humber projects, or initiatives. Marketplace is a great opportunity to bring the Humber community together for conversation, sharing and networking.

POSTER:
A research poster summarizes a research project using text and graphs/tables/pictures on a large sheet of paper. The poster is shared during a poster session, where several researchers stand by their posters, and attendees peruse among them, and chat informally with the researchers about their projects. It is a great chance to spread the word about research that is going on, and also to get feedback and ideas about a project.
