Repost: Weather, College Closures & Absences

[This was originally posted in November]

You can check whether the college has made the decision to cancel classes by calling 416 675-6622 or visiting www.humber.ca after 6:00am on a day with inclement weather conditions.

While we want student and staff to exercise caution and care when travelling in threatening weather, if the college is open, classes do proceed as usual.

Any student who makes the decision to stay home should communicate immediately with their faculty member through email or phone before the usual class start time. Project work due during class time is subject to late marks as per our usual policy and at the discretion of the instructor.

Please note that project work due on a day when classes are cancelled should be submitted to the instructor via F102 before noon on the next business day. Ensure that work is clearly labelled and date stamped.

Firebrand -- great commercials online

This is a great resource.

Firebrand is a website dedicated to commercials. It is privately funded by NBC Universal (GE),Microsoft (MSFT) and GE’s Peacock Equity Fund. It makes money by charging advertisers to be on the site. Saying that it’s dedicated to “commercial culture,” Firebrand curates the site to include only what it considers to be the best video advertisements from around the world. You can peruse a host of ads from big-brandnames like Nike, Apple and Volkswagen. Or you can watch Firebrand Live, which is a lot like MTV circa 1983.

HEMA -- great website design

Click here for an incredibly bright, fun website by HEMA, a Dutch clothing store.

Calling this clever is an understatement. (Turn on your sound for the full effect.)
