In partnership with the West Toronto Ontario Health Team, the Office of Sustainability is hosting a hackathon for mitigating the health effects of climate change from October 13 to 15.

This event is open to anyone from the Humber community and extended Etobicoke community.

Recognizing rising temperatures and a growing threat of wildfires each summer, communities and local health organizations must work together to address the health effects of urban climate change locally. What better way to develop collaborative solutions than a hackathon? 

Take on the challenge, form a team and pitch your idea to a panel of community judges for a chance to win cash prizes. Best of all, we will be connecting teams with health and social service organizations within West Toronto to apply your ideas for Summer 2024!

Promotional poster for mature student focus group with a Humber building north campus in the background

Do you know a mature student that would benefit from participating in a focus group on the mature student experience? 

The Mature Student Experience Focus Group 

The Office of the Dean of Students has organized a series of focus groups dedicated to gaining deeper insights into the mature student experience. The aim is to foster a greater understanding of the unique needs of learners who identify as mature students (see below for definition), enhance integration of these needs into existing student services and improve the overall experience of a mature learner at Humber College or the University of Guelph-Humber.

Students who self-identify as mature students and wish to contribute feedback on Humber’s student services and student life or feel their needs are not adequately being addresses are invited to participate and share their invaluable thoughts. 

Mature Student Defintion 

For the project a mature student is not defined by age but by a set of criteria. A student must meet at least one of the criteria to be considered a mature student.  

  • First-generation student (implies that your parent(s) or guardian(s) did not attend post-secondary, therefore making you the first in the family to do so)  
  • Have been away from formal education for at least four years
  • Have not completed any college or university programs
  • Someone returning for a second career or to upgrade skills
  • Has lived experiences as a parent, legal guardian, or caregiver

Focus Group Dates: 

In-person (refreshments provided)

North Campus: Friday, October 13 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
Lakeshore Campus: Tuesday, October 17 from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.
