What Our Members Say
"The Healthy Campus Framework was a great tool to use as an environmental scan for well-being on our campus. The Healthy Campus Inventory allowed us to see where we are doing well and where we could make improvements.
Because of the scan, we were able to develop a well-being action plan to tackle the areas where we wanted to see change. Ultimately, I believe participating in this process will allow us to improve the culture of well-being on our campus."

"We were looking for a framework for all of the holistic wellness initiatives we were doing but didn't know where to start.
The inventory is a great tool that helped us assess our institution's baseline so that we could focus on our strengths and on areas that needed improvement. We have used the data on several occasions to inform upper administration on where we are thriving and where we need support. We are looking forward to submitting it again to see where we've made improvements."

鈥淚t's nice to finally have a tool to start assessing our systems-level efforts for wellbeing on campus. Even though this tool is very new, and we will look at some others, it provided a great starting point for assessment and discussions around our systems and infrastructure efforts for wellbeing work at UCI.
After adopting the Okanagan Charter in 2021, this was an important step for us to move beyond our human bio-behavioral measures and metrics, and data.鈥
