The Health Education Office is located in 102 Keefe Health Center.
The Department of Health Education bases its work in the tenants of the Okanagan Charter for Health Promoting Colleges and Universities. We work at all levels of the socio-ecological model and utilize a public health approach rooted in social justice to improve the health and wellbeing of our campus community.
The mission of the Health Education Department is to help support students as they embark on or continue their individual and collective journeys to build and improve their wellbeing. We design health promotion initiatives that are responsive to the needs of our student population and recognize the many factors that influence our collective abilities to maintain and access health. We are guided by shared values of respect, equity and justice.
