2020 Humber Varsity Awards: Academic, HPC, Therapy, Departmental
ETOBICOKE – The seventh day of celebration showcases student-athletes that were successful in their sport and in the classroom. We also celebrate our student-staff who continue to bring Humber Varsity to new heights. Without the help of therapy, varsity operations, HPC, or sports information, the department would not be as successful as it is today.
