Winter 2019 Orientation is right around the corner!

Our student volunteers are getting very excited as we prepare for our incoming class of students this January! Orientation is happening Thursday, January 3, 2019, at North and Lakeshore campuses.

Our students can expect to:

  • Get to know their academic staff
    Students will have the opportunity to meet staff from their academic school, ask important questions, meet classmates and gain a more in depth understanding about program expectations.
  • Learn more about Humber
    Students will meet Humber ambassadors, learn about different Humber departments, collect FREE swag and enjoy fun games and activities.
  • Check out the campus
    Students will have an opportunity to go on a campus tour and discover some important spots.

Any students looking to register for Orientation can visit humber.ca/orientation.

Chickadee Feeding Mood Walk

  • When:
    December 19, 2018 12:00pm
Where:
Humber Arboretum, North Campus

arboretum@humber.ca

Mood Walks for Campus is an initiative that encourages physical activity as a way to improve both physical and mental health. This free, flexible and fun opportunity is open to all students, staff and faculty at the University of Guelph-Humber and Humber College. An increasing body of evidence suggests that one of the best ways to improve well-being is by simply spending more time outdoors. Spending time in nature has been shown to reduce stress, improve concentration, and bolster creative problem-solving.

The initiative includes six themed Mood Walks at the Humber Arboretum including a Chickadee Feeding Mood Walk on Wednesday, December 19 at noon. On this walk, you'll have the opportunity to try to hand-feed chickadees with an experienced guide. 

No registration is required - simply meet at the Centre for Urban Ecology to take part. (The Humber Arboretum is located at the back of North Campus; the CUE is the glass building with the red door at the top of the path).

 

More Mood Walk Opportunities

The North Campus Mood Walks program features three regular weekly walks - Mondays 1:10 p.m., Wednesdays 12:10 p.m. and Fridays 11 a.m. - that meet at the Athletics Customer Service Desk. For more information on these and other special walks, visit humber.ca/student-life/swac/fitness/mood-walks
