Throughout this academic year, I have been inspired countless times by Humber students and employees. I have been listening, observing, learning and reflecting on Humber’s history and the exciting future ahead.

As I announced during my remarks at my installation ceremony on June 2, Humber is set to embark on a visioning process this fall. Called Humber Inspired: A Vision for 2030, this initiative will engage the Humber community in conversations designed to create a vision for Humber’s future. 

I am delighted to share that Tyler Charlebois, Director, Centres of Innovation Network and Partnership Development, will be seconded to support, facilitate and guide the Humber Inspired strategy and visioning work. Tyler will continue to oversee the Strategic Partnership Hub as well. I want to thank Tyler for agreeing to take on this important role.

Humber Inspired is intended for the Humber Community to share their big, bold and innovative ideas—to set that moonshot—that will propel the college into the future and exponentially strengthen our commitment to learners and employees for years to come. With the talent and enthusiasm that I have seen everywhere throughout Humber, finding that moonshot will be an exciting exercise of engagement.

The Humber Inspired process will officially kick off at the President’s Breakfast on Thursday, August 31 and continue through the end of the fall term. We intend to bring the vision that will emerge to the Board of Governors in winter 2024, and that vision will guide the development of our next strategic plan later in 2024.

I’m looking forward to seeing and hearing what the Humber Community and our stakeholders have to say about our collective future. I encourage everyone, no matter their position, to dream without parameters, to think about the future and what role we want to play in it.  

Thank you,

Ann Marie Vaughan
President and CEO
