Editor’s Introduction: Why Humber “Spark”?

Why Humber “Spark”?

WHEN CONSIDERING THIS INAUGURAL issue of a quarterly Research & Innovation magazine, we were confronted with a question: How can we capture not only the breadth of the incredible work we do here at Humber but also the feeling of discovering the perfect research area to explore?

We were struck by how it only takes one spark of an idea to ignite the passions of a researcher, propelling them down a fiery path of innovation. How the intersection of critical thinking and creativity can represent the endless possibilities for change. We’re hoping to ignite that spark within everyone at Humber, because amazing things can happen when you stoke the fires of curiosity.
