Together, we prepare students for their future, whatever they dream it to be. Research shows that postsecondary education gives students the tools they need to create a brighter future, both in terms of higher income and greater self-assurance. Through your support of Humber, you are giving students the confidence they need to reach for their dreams and succeed. You are literally investing in their future, the future of our province, our country… even our world! As you read through the pages of this Gratitude Report, we hope you will feel proud. This report is meant to show exactly how your support helps Humber students— no matter what form that support might take. Gratitude is a theme that transcends the stories in this report. From the high school athlete finally recognized for his academic achievements… to the successful photographer who began his journey at Humber… to the dean who knows how important a little recognition and support can be to a disadvantaged student…. Our students are incredibly grateful for you. You help make an impact on them each and every day. You help make Humber a vibrant, supportive, innovative place for students to complete the next stage in their education. An education that may very well change their lives. Thank you for investing in Humber students. Kim Warner, CFRE Chief Advancement Officer We make every attempt to ensure the accuracy of information.

  • Starring George Anthony
    U.K. journalist Veronica Mather interviews author George Anthony on STARRING BRIAN LINEHAN, his no-holds-barred biography of Canadian television’s most celebrated celebrity interviewer. September, 2008 Toronto, Canada by VERONICA MATHER VERONICA MATHER: Starring Brian Linehan is your first book. Were you surprised by the reaction to it? GEORGE ANTHONY: Yes. Stunned. V.M.: The reviews were overwhelmingly positive. G.A.: Yes. V.M.: You hadn’t anticipated any of it? G.A.: No. Not at all. I had no idea how people would react Especially critics. V.M.: Why ‘especially’ critics? G.A.: Because I’m not a member of the club anymore, not for years now. And neither was Brian, not ever. So … V.M.: The ‘club’? G.A.: Yes, the club, the media fraternity. V.M.: You were a ‘club’ member when you wrote for the Toronto Sun. G.A.: Yes, but for the last 15 years I hadn’t written anything much longer than a memo. V.M.: At the CBC, while you were winning all those awards. G.A.: I knew I liked you. (laughs) But no, seriously, I didn’t win any awards. V.M.: Your shows did. G.A.: Yes, my shows did. V.M.: More than 100 Gemini awards. G.A.: So I’m told. V.M.: You don’t know? G.A.: I stopped counting after the first 10 or 12. I didn’t want to jinx it, didn’t want to press my luck. I was lucky to work on all those shows. V.M.: And you’re still at CBC.
