ATHLETICS ROLLS OUT PLAN TO CELEBRATE 50TH ANNIVERSARY

ETOBICOKE, ONT -- The 2016-17 academic year marks the 50th anniversary of Humber College and the department of athletics and recreation will be rediscovering stories and traditions that span the last five decades.  The commemoration will be highlighted at humberhawks.ca/gohawks50 and on the athletics’ social media channels, as well as at select home sporting events and department events.

Over the course of the academic year, Hawks Nation will be able to engage with the following digital content:

  • From the Archives”, a weekly showcase that will feature images, videos, and stories from Humber Athletics’ storied past.
  • Humber Athletics top-50 most memorable moments.
  • Written features that will tell the compelling – and often little known – stories of our rich history (We want to hear from you - to provide feedback and story ideas, fill out this online form).

In addition to online content, the Humber Hawks will embark on a special commemoration of its 50th anniversary in September 2017, hosting an exciting weekend full of history, memories and events to help college alumni remember the past and honour Humber’s transition into one of the country’s leading institutions.
