Humber definitely isn't a routine classroom-based school, says John Mason, Humber College's vice-president of student and corporate services. Humber's broad range of programs allows students to develop their interests in an environment focused on experiential and collaborative learning. Our end goal is to help our students graduate, build their career, and really contribute to society and the economy.
Humber offers many opportunities for students to enter, upgrade, or advance in the workplace. Their programs offer a unique blend of theory in the classroom, supported by hands-on practice in the labs. Even better, many of the programs offer a co-op work experience that allows students to apply theoretical learning in a real-life setting.
Humber prides itself on its faculty, a group of professionals who are experienced, respected, recognized, and supported by industry. Their close connection to their community and employers help students prepare to be confident contributing members of the workplace.
Professors have a strong commitment to teaching and learning excellence and are respected professionals in their chosen field. Their passion and enthusiasm carries over to all the other departments at Humber including the libraries, information technology, facilities, residences, areas of excellence and student development such as our outstanding recreational and varsity teams, says Mason. The great thing about Humber is that everyone, including faculty, support staff, administrators, and student leaders are all working toward a common goal of student success in the classroom. Humber truly is a great place to work, says Mason. We're all working towards student success in the classroom and we're very well supported in our efforts to do that.

We're currently undergoing a period of growth at Humber, says Deb McCarthy, associate vice-president of human resources.
