Humber reigns Photo Spotlight above all the rest

Last year Humber College had 50,000 applicants and the numbers keep going up. The increase is due to the hands-on approach the college has taken over the years. This will continue when Humber starts offering applied degrees in joint programs with various universities. The new applied degrees will bring even more applicants to Humber in search of our original brand of training. Degrees will be offered in plastics, logistics, supply chain management, and persuasive computing. Other programs will include partnerships with universities so that stu- dents can fast-track their way to a degree after college.

Some sources say that the rise in enrolment is due to the poor economy, but couldn't it just be that our school is the best? First of all, it used to be that we had as many bad (or weak as the college put it) teachers as we do good ones. Now the ratio is nine strong teachers to every weak one. The teachers at Humber are among the best in Ontario. Everyone has experi- enced teachers that have had an impact in their lives. Most people can remember the odd teacher from high school who passed on their wisdom, but most former students of Humber can reflect fondly upon experiences shared with their college professors. Secondly, our reputation has surpassed that of most other colleges and even some universities. number's enrolment has always had the some of largest numbers out of

all other schools across Ontario. Despite some of the technical problems the Et Cetera has discussed in

recent editorials, Humber is still the college that is chosen over many oth- ers. "Marble Martini" Humber is constantly offering new programs to cater to the evolving

workforce and they focus on what students believe is important. Finding a good job these days is a chore. The programs at Humber give Sheila Carvalho us the tools to go out when we are finished school, and ensure we have what it takes to get a job. Second year Creative Photography Student Work placements give us a leading edge over other students who do not have any experience in their field of study. The placements themselves give us on the job skills that we may have otherwise never learned. Since every

business operates in a different way it is important to see how it all comes together.

Above all, the whole college atmosphere is enjoyable. There are no bet-

ter years in your life as the ones spent in college. As many times as we've heard this before, these truly are the best years of our lives. There are always various activities put on by SAC to keep us entertained. All of these

activities seem to be well received by all students. (If only we could get the same people to vote in the SAC election.) The SAC entertainment budget brings good bands to Caps, even though

it's pretty evident that college students don't really need an excuse to drink,

and Caps in itself is a good campus pub. The memories (or lack of them) we all have from Caps alone would

probably be enough to fill a 28 page paper.

As others come to our school for the first time, and we move on to full time jobs or more education, we can only hope that their college experi-

ence at Humber will be as memorable and rewarding as it was for us.

Whatever we bring with us, it will surely be enough to get our lives started in the right direction.
