As we begin the Fall 2020 Orientation season, the Student Life Orientation Team within Student Success and Engagement invites all Humber faculty and staff to browse our new and engaging online content available for incoming students to access starting this week. We encourage you to visit our website and support us with promoting our content, programming and events to incoming students throughout the rest of August and September.

Note: Starting Mid-July, new students have been sent several e-mails pertaining to the below elements through a multitude of channels. We thank our campus partners for also spreading the message online through social media, calling campaigns, webinars and more.

Should your students have any direct questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to orientation@humber.ca or Christina Alcena, Manager, Equity & Student Life (christina.alcena@humber.ca) directly.
