New Grad Resources

Congratulations and Welcome to our Alumni Family!

The end of one journey is the start of another. You came to Humber to acquire the necessary skills to succeed in your field of choice. Now you join a talented and diverse network of over 300,000 alumni making a difference around the world.

Indigenous Medallions

Graduating students who have self-identified as Indigenous and attended the Indigenous awards gala are given medallions ahead of convocation and are asked to wear them during their ceremony to display their pride in their history and culture. The medallions acknowledge the graduates' accomplishments and underscore the importance of the tradition of gift giving to Indigenous peoples. Medallions can also be picked up from the Indigenous Education and Engagement department (IEE) if you did not receive one. Representatives from IEE will also be present during the convocation ceremonies to hand them out.

Be Prepared for the Big Day!
