I was tasked with developing a new Automated Guided Vehicle system to be used to demonstrate and act as a test platform for upcoming SEW-EURODRIVE projects.
Projects like this allow you to work directly with industry partners. SEW is one of the main partners for the Barrett Centre for Technology Innovation, allowing students to work with their technology and gather first-hand experience developing real solutions for actual industrial challenges.”

Working together for the greater good of the community.Before enrolling in the Bachelor of Community Development program at Humber, Richard graduated with honours from the Social Service Worker program at another college and was awarded the Practicum Excellence Award.
“Prior to working and studying in the community services sector, I was a chef for more than ten years, working in restaurants and running my own catering business. I graduated from Humber’s Culinary Skills program in 2003.
As much as I loved creating in the kitchen, I did not feel fulfilled and wanted to serve the community. I decided to change careers and go back to school, which was by far the best decision I’ve made in my life.
As someone who currently works as a Youth Facilitator at a local agency, I know the issues that affect the community first-hand. I really appreciate how the Bachelor of Community Development program challenges us by addressing those issues and encourages us to work collectively towards finding solutions. I am also extremely grateful
for our in-class experience and our professors that are always supportive by giving us the tools and skills necessary to create change in the real world. Students are encouraged to work together for the greater good of the community. For the past few years, my program has worked together on numerous campaigns including, Chew on This! — Dignity for All, focusing on eradicating poverty in Canada. As my classmates and I enter third year, we will have the opportunity to choose our 14-week field placement where we will get to experience work in a real-life setting.
All the courses in our program are essential to our learning, but one class that I found important was a course called Group Dynamics, where we learned how to work with others in a diverse setting.”

“I chose Humber because of the Aboriginal Resource Centre (ARC). The college offers one of the largest spaces to support Aboriginal communities and the staff is very helpful in all aspects of student experiences and learning.
“In addition to my education, one of the most amazing experiences I had was participating in The BASE program. This program was a huge part of my success story at Humber.
It is intended to support engagement and graduation rates of students who identify as African, Black, and Caribbean. It also offers students a safe place on campus where they can feel unity and belonging while building lasting connections with others.
The BASE aims to connect Black students with their full potential, and it helped me stay grounded and feel connected to the school.”
— Efe, Community and Justice Services Diploma graduate; Student Support Advisor, The BASE program
At the ARC, I have enjoyed participating in many social events — including “Fitnish” which plays off words from Anishinaabe and the word “fitness.” It brings students together and focuses on providing health and wellness opportunities for students. When students enter postsecondary education, they begin to focus less on their physical and mental health and mainly pay attention to their schooling. This program invites students to meet new people, work out together and participate in field trips like rock climbing, skating at the Harbourfront Centre and more.”

Curriculum that includes real-life situations proves invaluable.At Humber, students like Haydn continue to benefit from learning that supports a smooth transition to employment.
“I’m currently a Bachelor of Public Relations student and a graduate of the Advertising and Marketing Communications diploma at Humber. The first program I completed at Humber was so rewarding because it allowed me to learn more about myself and helped me find specific strengths in an industry that requires versatile skills.
It was clear to me that my strongest skill set was in communications, so I decided to pursue a degree in public relations to further enhance my abilities in this field. My favourite aspect of the public relations program is the real-life experiences the program offers. All of our assignments are based on real situations or involve real clients, which is invaluable for our portfolios.
Our program gave us the opportunity to create an internal communications plan for the Theatre Museum of Canada and helped craft marketing tools for the Humber Resource Centre.
The network on campus, the skilled industry-relevant professors, and the services provided by Humber are priceless and open many opportunities throughout your career. Whether I’m volunteering, visiting a networking event, or at a job interview, Humber PR is often talked about positively in conversation.
As an avid member of Humber College’s student community, I am also a part-time employee. One of my roles involves student engagement in Humber Athletics where I’m able to motivate and encourage students through my passion for health, fitness and recreation. My other position at Humber is with a student-operated organization called Building F: Centre for Creative Business Collaboration. Building F brings marketers and agencies together with students across all programs in order to produce strategic creative content and technological solutions; they’re the hub for client-student projects. This job allows me to enhance my relationships with students and faculty at Humber while also helping provide programs with real client-based initiatives.”

Explore different cultures and learn from new perspectives through global learning opportunities.Along with eight other students from the Media Communications program, Nithya jumped on the opportunity to travel to China to capture different surroundings, explore unfamiliar cultures and discover new friendships on the other side of the globe.
“Shenzhen Polytechnic provided spaces for us to collaborate, plan and discuss how we could combine our efforts to create a collaborative multimedia piece. We spent the week sharing authentic Chinese meals and adventurous experiences both across campus and around the city of Shenzhen, all while capturing photos and video from both points of view to generate content for our shared multimedia piece.
What I found most rewarding about the experience were the connections we forged with both the students and faculty of Shenzhen Polytechnic. Although we didn’t necessarily share a common language, educational system, or background — we found more commonalities than I think any of us could have anticipated. Overcoming communication and cultural barriers only to find out how similar our humour, passions and dreams really are was one of the most fulfilling parts of the cultural exchange experience. The hospitality and overwhelming generosity we received is something I hope to carry with me and emulate in any future cross-cultural experiences in my career.”
Each year more than 500 Humber students go abroad for enriching study or work experiences and participate in international learning on-campus.

“I was intrigued by the idea of a cultural and multimedia exchange with students who would bring an entirely different perspective, upbringing and creative lens to the table.”

SWAC provides students with one-on-one counselling support, confidential health services and accessible learning services, contributing to a healthy, positive and inclusive learning experience.
Recently, Humber and IGNITE have worked together on two large projects aimed at improving the lives of students within the Humber and Guelph-Humber community.
The Soupbar is a pay-what-you-can service that addresses student hunger on campus and strives to eliminate food waste within the broader community. It provides students in financial need with an open and inclusive way to obtain a meal. Whether a student has $2 or less, they are able to enjoy a hot bowl of soup made from donated organic vegetables and produce from Humber Arboretum’s Food Learning Garden.
We also helped lead the Dispute Resolution Clinic (DRC). The Clinic helps students manage their conflicts on and off campus. In partnership with the Faculty of Business and the Office of Student Conduct, the DRC offer students advice through conflict coaching, conflict mediation, and conflict management workshops.
We are proud of our efforts for students.”

DIPLOMA TO DEGREE TRANSFER STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS
Humber awards degree scholarships to students entering any Humber honours bachelor’s degree program who have completed a two- or three-year diploma from a publicly funded college. Students who have achieved a program GPA of 80 per cent or higher will be awarded a one-time scholarship of $2,500.

OSAP
The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a financial aid program that can help you pay for college. OSAP offers funding through:· grants: money you don’t have to pay back· student loans: money you need to repay once
you’re done school
When you apply for OSAP, you are automatically considered for both grants and loans. If you don’t want to take a loan, you can decline it after your application is approved.
There are also programs to help you repay your student loan once you’re done school.

WORK STUDY PROGRAM
Working on campus while you are a Humber or University of Guelph-Humber student is a great way to gain some valuable work experience, learn about resources and services at Humber, and earn some extra cash. The rate of pay for student positions is from $14 and up per hour. You must be in satisfactory academic standing to work on campus. To work on campus you also need to be considered a full-time student (for most students this means a minimum 60% course load; some students with disabilities are considered full-time at a 40% course load), and you will need a Social Insurance Number.
You must be a Canadian Citizen, Permanent Resident, or Protected Person.

“Getting hands-on experience in your field before graduating is the absolute best opportunity that has come my way. I would recommend work study positions to anyone who is looking to get a healthy balance of school and work.”
