RESEARCH ROUNDS: BUILDING A RESEARCH PROFILE

October 3, 2013 12:45-1:30 pm

President's Boardroom 

Featuring: Bernie Monette

Program Coordinator, Web Development, Media Studies & Information Technology 

Faculty member Bernie Monette will discuss the critical steps to building a research profile at Humber. Bernie has participated in many successful research projects, both internally and externally funded, and has successfully worked with students and industry partners.

When asked about his motivation to be involved in research, Monette says, ���It�۪s a good opportunity to match what we�۪re doing in the program with what people are doing in the industry, creating products that will provide a benefit to Humber�۪s industry partners and students in the program.�۝ 

Bernie will discuss the many access points to research, the timing and trajectory of an evolving project, and the necessary steps to take in order to build a research profile and engage in industry innovation. 

Refreshments will be served

Humber is celebrating World Vegetarian Day, October 3, 2013, at the North Campus! Here's a taste of what's planned:

• Farmer's Market filled with local veggies and fruits
• Booths to learn more about local and organic food, vegetarianism, healthy choices and nutrition
• Representatives from Toronto Vegetarian Association and Mercy for Animals 
• Humber's Athletics dept will be kicking off 'Nutrition Month'
• Humber library will share all the films, documentaries and books that you can borrow to learn more on this topic!
• Sign up to join other students and start an HSF club related to Vegetarianism!
• The Humber community will be able to learn about the benefits of a plant-based diet, and how eating locally grown, and organically grown foods can significantly reduce your footprint on the environment, and help you be healthier overall.

We all spend time working and interacting in groups and sometimes the experience is not as positive as we want it to be. In this useful workshop, students will learn about group theory, how it applies to group work and acquire valuable strategies to help create better group dynamics.

All Humber employees who have attended Humber’s human rights training session prior to August 2008, are required to attend a ‘Pathways to Human Rights, Education & Action’ training session. This includes sessional, contract, part-time, full-time, and work-study employees.

Goal of the Workshop:

To increase and reinforce employees’ awareness of Humber’s Human Rights Policy and its implications for action

Participants at the workshop will:

1. Increase their understanding of key Human Rights terms and concepts in order to more effectively prevent, recognize and respond to human rights related allegations;
2. Receive resources that will assist in enhancing inclusion at Humber; and
3. Receive an overview of Humber’s Human Rights Policy.

To facilitate your attendance, training sessions will be offered throughout the 2013/2014 academic year. The next available training sessions will be offered on the following dates:
