HUMBER COLLEGE
After a warm welcome and well-organized reception, we not only received great insights through the presentations in the morning, but after a wonderful lunch prepared and served by the students we also got to experience why, what and how Humber College succeeds in giving the (international) students the best learning experience possible.
STOP TALKING START DOING
Humber College breathes ambition, innovation and creativity. The translation of the educational vision into a data-driven strategy is one of “stop talking, start doing”. The key word here seems to be collaboration as in the quote “Our Place is Your Place”. The open invitation to work together in centers of innovation, global summer schools, exchange students and faculty staff is very much appreciated.
CURIOSITY, CREATIVITY AND COURAGE
We definitely see a trend in problem based educational programs (CDIO-BUS structure) with a strong actively involved work field creating a real-life practical context where experimentation to fail forward is stimulated. Humber College is not only driven by curiosity and creativity but also by courage as we have seen in the beautiful future proof new buildings and facilities to challenge and support the learning experience.
FROM SOFT SKILLS TO ESSENTIAL SKILLS
Changing the name can have an impact, if not for the educational program than at least renaming soft skills into essential skills. Stackable educational programs with a focus on undergraduate opens up doors for further collaboration on projects and exchange of experiences between HBO – I colleagues and Humber College. Definitely worth an experiment.
CO-CREATION AND COLLABORATION
We thank our Colleagues from Humber College for sharing with us their enthusiasm, energy, openness, inspiration and especially for their hospitality. We are looking forward to co-create and collaborate
