Happy Earth Week Anteaters!

As we celebrate Earth Week, we invite you to learn more about UCI’s Comprehensive Wellbeing Initiative. As a Health Promoting University, all students, staff and faculty are encouraged to engage during Earth week with one of the HPU four pillars:

1

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

2

The Built Environment

3

Sustainability

4

A Culture of Wellbeing

Stop by our table on Ring Road between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Earth Day, April 22, and record a short video to let us know how you engage with one of the four pillars in your daily life at UCI. 

All students, staff, and faculty are invited to participate! 

We will feature as many of your comments and videos on the Health Promoting University website as we can.

If you are interested in getting involved with any of the four pillars, or you would like to share your thoughts on the Comprehensive Wellbeing Initiative, visit this link.

Thank you and Happy Earth Week!

As a Health Promoting Campus, our vision is to embed wellbeing into all aspects of campus culture and to lead health promotion action and collaboration locally and globally.

The Comprehensive Wellbeing Initiative (CWI) at UCI is a multi-disciplinary initiative grounded and guided by the Okanagan Charter, and is helping UCI to become a globally recognized health promoting university.  UCI is among the first eight campuses in the United States to adopt the Okanagan Charter.

Official Adoption

On September 1st, 2021 UCI officially adopted the Okanagan Charter, along with six other U.S. campuses. There are now almost 20 campuses in the U.S. who have officially adopted the Charter, and nearly 200 campuses who have joined the U.S. Health Promoting Campuses Network (USHPCN) and are looking to have their campus adopt the charter as well.
