Humber College Council 2023 Elections

Do you have a vision and some great ideas to share about the planning for the future of the College? Give voice to your thoughts and join College Council!

Role of College Council

College Council is the collective voice of the College in that it is an assembly of faculty, support staff, students, and administrators who suggest directions in which the College should proceed. College Council advises the President on those College issues which it considers to be long and short-term priorities as identified in Humber’s Strategic Plan.

As of 2018, Humber’s three Strategic Pillars provide the foundation for the strategic priorities and corresponding supporting actions:

  1. Career-Ready Citizens
  2. Accessible Education
  3. Healthy and Inclusive Community

The Council advises the President of the College in matters affecting academic policy, planning, and practice, including, the successful implementation of Humber’s Strategic Plan initiatives. College policy or business items ultimately proceeding to the College's Board of Governors may appear at College Council at the discretion of the President, before final disposition at the Board of Governors.
