The Bringing in the Bystander program at Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber offers a (2) hour workshop that teaches bystanders how to safely intervene where an incident of sexual violence may be occurring or where there may be risk. Through in-depth discussion of issues and role-playing of common violence scenarios, participants come to understand how they play a part in proactively preventing sexual and relationship violence, how they can help survivors get the help and support they need, and how they can contribute to the creation of a campus climate that reflects a commitment to safety for all.

The International Development Institute (IDI), in collaboration with the Office of Sustainability, invites you to celebrate International Development Week (IDW) on Wednesday February 7^th on Lakeshore Campus!

This annual nationwide initiative encourages Canadians, especially youth, to learn more about and contribute to international development. Each year, hundreds of students and faculty participate in this event, eager to gain a wider global perspective and share their experiences and ideas on ways to reduce poverty and inequality.

Our theme this year is ‘Sustainable Change: Your Guide to Taking Action’ and focuses broadly on equality and empowerment, and Canada’s global efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. We invite you to join us - and special guest, radio and TV personality and World Food Program Ambassador - George Stroumboulopoulos in marking this important day as we highlight efforts made by the Humber community and other organizations in building a better, more inclusive, peaceful and prosperous world.

SafeAssign, the Blackboard equivalent of TurnItIn, can be used to encourage students to identify how to properly attribute sources rather than paraphrase or plagiarize.  SafeAssign compares your submitted assignments against a set of academic papers and databases to identify areas of overlap.

If you have a suggestion for a Blackboard workshop, please contact Mark at mark.ihnat@humber.ca.
