Humber's Digital Campus Plan focuses on digital fluency as a key priority for supporting equity, innovation, and success at Humber. Work is underway to identify and develop opportunities for students, staff, and faculty to gain and/or enhance their digital fluency skills. 

To date, Humber has launched an environmental scan and now we'd like to invite all faculty and staff to join a conversation where we'll discuss what digital fluency means to Humber, how it is currently demonstrated in our daily work, and what support might be needed to help us prepare for the future (student consultations will occur separately).

Please join us for a facilitated discussion about digital fluency at Humber. There are several dates available (days and times listed below) where participants can share their thoughts, ask questions, and engage with each other about what we do and where we're headed.

Session options:

  • Thursday, June 15, 11 a.m.-12 p.m.
  • Friday, June 16, 2-3 p.m.
  • Monday, June 19, 10-11 a.m. or 2-3 p.m.
  • Tuesday, June 27, 3-4 p.m.

In this hybrid event, members of the 2SLGBTQ+ Employee Resource Group (ERG) will engage in a panel discussion of what it is like to be queer in the workplace. Your host, Matthew Harris, will lead the panel through questions like the following: what are some of the priorities for queer people in the workplace? How would queer people like to see the workplace change or improve? How can your non-queer colleagues show allyship to the 2SLGBTQ+ community?

All members of the Humber community are invited to this event. Feedback and questions are also encouraged: this is a unique opportunity to ask good-faith questions about the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

The event will be held in person and online. Light refreshments will be served. Attendees are encouraged to register.
