Explore the transformative journeys of three distinguished New York State institutions (SUNY-Albany, Cornell University, and Pace University) that have fully embraced the Okanagan Charter – a global health initiative that encourages higher education institutions to embed health into all aspects of campus culture and lead health promotion locally and globally. By doing so, colleges and universities enhance the success of our institutions; create campus cultures of compassion, well-being, equity, and social justice; improve the health of the people who live, learn, work, play, and love on our campuses; and strengthen the ecological, social and economic sustainability of our communities and wider society.
Join UNYCC colleagues as we explore their stories and uncover the transformative potential that lies within the adoption of the Okanagan Charter from institutions that exemplify the Charter’s profound impact.
