On November 18, 2013, members of the Humber College community gathered to celebrate and honour six Humber alumni with nominations for Premier's Awards. The evening was a great success with a win for Humber!

Lee Renshaw was announced as recipient in the Recent Graduate category.  As president of Round Circle Group Ltd. Lee has taken the luggage industry by storm with his new creation, the Rise and Hang travel bag, the only luggage system of its kind. In 2012, he was offered two deals on CBC’s Dragons’ Den. His product has appeared on the Today show and in US Weekly. The product was selected as “the” gift bag for the 2014 Grammys and Oscars. Lee’s technology has been licensed to a global firm and, by 2014, the bags will be in retail worldwide. Sales are projected at $3 million by the last quarter of 2013.

Along with this recognition, Humber will receive a $5,000 bursary in Lee's name to support Humber students.
