Today, we're in the Assembly Hall.
And it's the poster session for 
the Criminal Justice degree students.
They've been working all year 
on their thesis projects – 
they started in September –
and today is their opportunity 
to disseminate their research
to the community 
and to their fellow colleagues.
Turnout is great.
We have approximately, maybe,
90 posters from students. 
We have 30 members from community
who are coming in.
We're having, sort of,
a network event 
so they're able to connect
with partners
from the community, 
from industry.
So they can talk about their research,
what they've been doing,
and get feedback
from people who are
right there 
with their feet on the ground.
[Harriet] Our poster,
it's on the struggles 
of second generation immigrants.
So we kinda took a look at,
within the Humber, um, community,
the challenges and discriminations 
that second generation immigrants faced,
and what have they used 
to overcome those challenges.
[Hilry]
My focus was, um, juvenile delinquency.
And, essentially,
I just wanted to further understand 
juvenile delinquency
and essentially the why factor.
[Taufic Saliba]
We were fortunate enough to come today
to be invited
to see some of the displays
that the Humber students 
have put together.
They tackled some, some very honest
and some very tough questions
about some of the challenges 
society faces today.
And I was quite impressed 
with the quality of the presentations
and especially
the quality of the answers
to the questions 
that we posed to them.
[Joanna]
This program does a really great job
of connecting students
with industry partners
and providing them with the opportunity
to really have a hands-on understanding
of what it is they'll be facing 
when they move into the field.
Because this is a degree program,
it's really interdisciplinary.
So a lot of the students
have a wide variety of interests.
So we've tried
to represent that here
with the,
the community members we've invited,
um, so that the students 
have the opportunity
to connect and talk with people who are 
doing what they wanna do in the future.
[Hilry]
I came into the Criminal Justice program
from the Community 
and Justice Services program.
It's just kinda carrying on 
and further going into detail.
Professors,
they're professors from the field 
who are bringing experiences 
into the classroom.
And that's what really helps a lot more,
where it's more than just textbook work.
[Harriet] Coming to Humber helps us
because we have the practical aspect.
So some universities,
all they have is just the theory,
and then they go 
into the workplace.
But for us,
because we have the placement,
we also have hands-on experience 
that will help
whatever, um, agency 
that we go to in the future.
[Hilry] I feel very prepared.
Very prepared.
Um, there's 
that level of confidence.
You finish this program 
and many doors are opened.
My goal is policing.
Hoping to get in a police force.
I'm in a process 
with a couple forces.
So I just want one of them 
to offer me,
and that'll be my plan to get into there
and then thrive in that career.
