Connect with Humber Indigenous Education and Engagement team

Aanii, Boozhoo! My name is Richard Cochrane, and I am a proud member of CurveLake First Nation. After graduating from the University of Windsor in 2012, I moved to Toronto and fell in love with the big city and currently reside in the downtown area. Each week, I am available to meet at any of Humber’s three (3) campuses located in North Etobicoke (North Campus), South Etobicoke (Lakeshore Campus), and our new

downtown campus at Yonge/Bloor. At Humber Polytechnic (formerly Humber College), I am the Indigenous Student Recruitment Officer and can assist with the following:

  • Help prospective students find the right program that fits their academic and career goals

  • Answer detailed questions about the 200+ programs offered at Humber

  • Admissions process

  • Indigenous student services and support

  • Custom campus tours for individual visits or large groups

  • Residence questions

  • Financial aid/band funding

  • Share my experience living in the big city and how Humber helps students adjust to life at postsecondary education (First Year Experience)

  • ANYTHING about Humber

    If you are a band member of one of the following eight (8) First Nations and interested in a full-time program at Humber, you may be eligible for free tuition:

  • Alderville First Nation

  • Curve Lake First Nation

  • Hiawatha First Nation

  • Chippewas of Georgina Island

  • Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation

  • Mississaugas of the Scugog Island First Nation
