Want to bring the world of work into your classrooms?
Want to engage your students in deeper learning?
Learn how to mine your industry contacts for engaging cases you can use as teaching tools to get students to apply their learning to real-world problems. This workshop will walk you through the process of writing your first case, from selecting an appropriate contact to conducting the interview(s) and shaping the narrative of the case to fit particular learning objectives. We will also prepare the case for publication with a teaching note.

For one night only join us for Thornton Wilder's "Our Town".
A play explores that relationship between two young Grover's Corners neighbors, George Gibbs and Emily Webb, whose childhood friendship blossoms into romance, and then culminates in marriage.
When Emily loses her life in childbirth, the circle of life portrayed in each of the three acts of Our Town--growing up, adulthood, and death--is fully realized.
Cost: $10

To Humber Faculty, Support Staff and Administrators;
On behalf of the Mentoring Partnership, I ask that you consider volunteering your time to this very important initiative.
Humber is a corporate and community partner of The Mentoring Partnership, a program of the Toronto Region Immigrant Employment Council (TRIEC). This program is a collaboration of community organizations and corporate partners that connects skilled immigrants with established professionals in occupation-specific mentoring relationships. Since 2007
Humber’s Community Employment Services has been successful in over 673 mentoring matches.
Humber staff can play an important role in mentoring internationally-trained professionals by offering valuable advice and insight to help them understand Canada’s workplace cultures. A small commitment from you can have a big impact in the lives of new immigrants.
By sharing your knowledge and experience, a mentor gives 24 hours of their time over a four- month period to help a skilled newcomer navigate through the job search process. A mentor’s role is to help a skilled immigrant:
Mentors are needed from many occupations, including IT, business, finance, social services, education, human resources, engineering, health professions etc. - all the skills that we have at Humber.
I hope you will help demonstrate Humber’s community leadership by becoming a mentor. To get involved, please contact Peter Pipiska, Mentor Coach, Humber Community Employment Services at 416-748-7200 ext. 281, peter.pipiska@humber.ca.
Sincerely,
Chris Whitaker
President and CEO
The Mentoring Partnership brings together recent skilled immigrants and established professionals in occupation-specific mentoring relationships.

Many people struggle with reading for understanding. In this workshop, students will learn about different reading styles. They will also be introduced to reading strategies that will help them get the most of the material they read.
Every class you take presents you with lots of information to take in and learn. How can anyone remember it all? Good note taking is essential and learning how to sift through information to make effective notes will move you towards success. In this workshop students will learn and practise strategies for optimizing their note taking ability.
