How can we incorporate sustainability into every student's Humber experience?

A sustainability mindset enables us to think and act with our collective future in mind.

Humber's Institutional Learning outcomes (ILOs) Project team, with the support of the Office of Sustainability, invites you to join us for a morning of creative problem-solving about how we can make sustainability part of the learning environment at Humber.

In this session, students, faculty and staff will brainstorm how all Humber programs can integrate environmental, economic, social and civic responsibility into their curriculum. Your collective input will inform the implementation of the Sustainability ILO across the college. Join us on:

Breakfast will be provided

Please RSVP here.

We look forward to sharing ideas and finding solutions with you!

Want to learn more? Here is your chance. Come out to the Insurance Management Program Open House, and interact with industry leaders and recruiters from such companies as AIG, Intact, Chubb and Northbridge.
