As we continue to work and learn at home, it’s important to stay connected to our colleagues and our community. To help keep us all connected, we created the #HumberAtHome series. We want to know about how you are taking care of your well-being right now, how your teams are adding a bit of fun into your interactions, and which resources are helping you.
Here are some examples of what members of the Humber community are doing to bring their community together:
Humber Lakeshore
The Humber PR post graduate certificate students with Professor Annette Borger-Snel and Rob Plant, just completed their final mock press conference/town hall meeting online. This authentic learning required mini groups of students to present a response to a case and deliver over video technology. This simulates what we are seeing by leaders in the news - delivering a message either to media or employees through video. In addition to the cases being presented, Annette brought in guests to evaluate - guests included experts in employee relations from top industries including packaged goods, infrastructure, government and finance. They also included members of the media to listen in and give valuable feedback to future PR students. People outside of the country who routinely prepare clients for media appearances on CNN, Fox, etc. were also enlisted. Other Humber staff who assisted included Hedy Korbee, Paul Cross and Robert Richardson.
Humber Child Development Centre
The staff of the Humber Child Development Centre have been staying connected with the children and families through regular Zoom sessions. The children love to see their teachers and classmates while participating in some (remote) group activities. The staff have also put together a list of resources for families and they would like to share with the rest of the Humber community here. Let Humber’s Registered Early Childhood Educators show you and your children how to make play dough, cook some healthy lunches and snacks, paint with items found around your home, and lots more! The staff wish all the best to everyone and their families.

Individual Tips From Humber Staff
Annette Borger-Snel, Public Relations Professor, is making several masks for hospitals, families and essential workers. The masks are made with extra special fabric left to Annette by her late mom. Annette does this in her spare time to help and use her creative energy for good.
