In the 2018-2023 Strategic Plan, Humber College identified as its Strategic Priority #7 to continue to build a diverse and inclusive community of exceptional students, faculty and staff. This priority is listed under Strategic Pillar #3 – Healthy and Inclusive Community.
Members of the College, University of Guelph Humber and the community were sought to join an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Taskforce to work alongside the Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity to establish an institutional EDI framework and strategy. We are delighted that the EDI Taskforce was successfully launched on March 1, 2019.

- Lori Diduch, Vice-President, Human Resources & Organizational Effectiveness
- Jason Hunter, Vice-President, Student and Community Engagement
The EDI Taskforce Leads are:
- Nancy Simms, Director, Centre for Human Rights, Equity & Diversity (Lead)

The EDI Taskforce is comprised of Humber students, employees, alumni as well as community-based and industry organizations. Please join me in recognizing the EDI Taskforce members.
