The Healthy Campus Unit is a health promotion team working to support campus health and wellbeing by creating a healthy campus community at the University of Alberta.
We want to create a culture of wellness at the U of A and we believe that everyone has the capacity to create an atmosphere of wellbeing through our everyday interactions. People, places, and language are all aspects that influence students’ learning and engagement, yet are encountered on a daily basis from the moment the day begins. Wellbeing is vital to student success. In striving for a healthy campus community, we strongly believe in the value of integrating the following health promotion strategies in the work we do on campus: Expanding collaborations in health and working closely with partners; developing health knowledge and skills; conducting student health research to drive evidence based practice; creating healthy, supportive campus environments
