The Okanagan Charter
The Humanics mission of Springfield College is to educate all students in spirit, mind, and body for leadership in service to others. Directly aligned with this mission, our effort is to prioritize the College’s commitment to health and well-being. This commitment extends beyond the programs and services provided to students, faculty, and staff, and intentionally addresses the entire campus community through addressing the systems and settings that can make Springfield College a healthier place for all.
Formal Adoption of the Okanagan Charter
On April 23, 2024, Springfield College will be formally adopting the “Okanagan Charter: An International Charter for Health Promoting Universities and Colleges” that places health and well-being of students, faculty, and staff at the forefront.
What Does Adopting the Charter Mean?
In adopting the Okanagan Charter, Springfield College will continue to work towards a healthier campus community in people, place, and planet. The College maintains its position of leadership by reinforcing our commitment to health and well-being. A healthy campus for all will improve the lives of those who live, study, and work here, and will pay dividends in concrete outcomes, such as employee and student retention.
In adopting the Okanagan Charter, Springfield College acknowledges these aspirations and calls to action, and commits to creating a healthier community for all.
