From Curiosity to Classroom

HUMBER COLLEGE RESEARCHERS CHAMPION EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING THROUGH INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION

By Saran Davaajargal

THE HALLMARK OF A HUMBER COLLEGE EDUCATION is the focus on helping students develop the skills and the knowledge necessary to become career-ready citizens— strategic pillar #1 defined in Humber’s Strategic Plan 2018-2023. To this end, Humber College faculty members, researchers, and staff are constantly introducing new and innovative ways of transforming the initial spark of curiosity and developing impactful projects that help students master new skills and gain a competitive edge in the workforce of the 21st century.

In this SPARK issue, we highlight three interdisciplinary initiatives that nurture and foster experiential learning at Humber College.

My main two goals are sparking curiosity and building confidence.
