The Student Wellness and Equitable Learning (SWEL) team is proud to announce that the Canadian Association of College and University Student Services (CACUSS) has named the SWEL Curricular Framework as the recipient of the 2023 CACUSS Innovation Award.
The SWEL Curricular Framework provides a structured approach to designing and delivering programs and initiatives that support student learning and well-being, with a focus on intentional outcomes. Over the last two years, the SWEL team collaborated with learners and educators to identify learning domains, establish pathways, and cultivate a sense of belonging through intentional programming and initiatives rooted in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion and critical approaches to care and healing.
Launched officially in September 2022, the SWEL Curricular Framework reflects the expertise, passion, and experience of our team, learners, and colleagues across the institution. Furthermore, the Framework encapsulates our values-driven approach to supporting holistic learner wellbeing and success while also advocating for, and fostering conditions to facilitate, larger systemic change at Humber and beyond.
The CACUSS Awards will be taking place virtually on the evening of Thursday, April 27 at 7 p.m. EDT.

About the Innovation Award
The CACUSS Innovation Award recognizes a new or innovative program or service on a campus that has been developed with participation or leadership by a CACUSS member institution or individual. The program or service exemplifies innovation and excellence, and could serve as a model or example of promising practice for other CACUSS member institutions.
The program/service innovation must be connected to priorities/commitments of CACUSS, as determined by the Board of Directors, which may change from time to time. Currently, the program/service should demonstrate innovation in one of the three areas the Board has committed to in the CACUSS Strategic Plan: Indigenization; Equity, Diversity & Inclusion; and Health & Wellness.
Programs or services can be nominated in one of three categories: Small-size Institution (1 – 9,999 students), Medium-size Institution (10,000 – 19,999 students), or Large-size Institution (20,000 or more students).
