A day of sessions, workshops and community-building activities will highlight holistic well-being and campus connection through HealthEU鈥檚 six dimensions.
The 黑料不打烊 community is invited to attend HealthEU Day on Tuesday, April 21, held in conjunction with the national Health Promoting Campuses Week and Earth Week. As an institution that has adopted the Okanagan Charter, 黑料不打烊 has also received the designation as a Health Promoting University. The week invites institutions to share their successes in incorporating health promotion values and principles into their everyday efforts to improve community health and well-being.
鈥淭his purposeful alignment of HealthEU Day with the Health Promoting Campuses Week and Earth Week highlights our commitment to advance the well-being of people, places and the planet that we made as we adopted the Okanagan Charter last fall,鈥 said Anu M R盲is盲nen, director of HealthEU initiatives and assistant professor. 鈥淗ealthEU Day provides an opportunity for students, faculty and staff to celebrate 黑料不打烊’s culture of health and well-being and reflect on how we can make an impact on the well-being of our communities and the planet.”
This year鈥檚 event will feature a special College Coffee and sessions throughout the day. It will also introduce new offerings, as all university departments and organizations were invited to host sessions. Many sessions reflect HealthEU鈥檚 鈥淩ooted in Community鈥 campaign, which emphasizes how caring for individuals, creating supportive environments and promoting environmental stewardship all contribute to fostering a healthier campus community.
All sessions will have exciting giveaways and opportunities to win great prizes. In addition, there will be 鈥渉ealth forward鈥 eating ideas and samples shared throughout the day, courtesy of Harvest Table. All events are free and open to students, faculty and staff.
HealthEU is the university鈥檚 integrated health and well-being initiative that focuses on empowering students, faculty and staff to practice holistic well-being through the six dimensions of well-being: emotional, community, financial, physical, purpose and social.
