Wellbeing Strategic Framework Refresh
June 10 at 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
Wellbeing is a shared responsibility, and shaping its future direction at UBC is a shared opportunity
At UBC, we believe that the wellbeing of students, faculty, staff, and our broader community matters. It shapes how we live, learn, teach, research and work every day. When we build environments and systems that help our community thrive, our entire university is stronger.
Wellbeing is more than individual health habits. It’s about the conditions that shape our daily experiences — our learning and work environments, natural spaces and planetary health, systems, policies, relationships, and campus culture. It’s also about how we address issues that are deeply interconnected within wellbeing, including advancing Indigeneity, equity, diversity, inclusion, and sustainability.
To help make this work more visible and accessible, we’ve developed the UBC Wellbeing Ecosystem, a visual representation of how wellbeing is cultivated across our university community. It offers a way to explore the interconnected systems, roles, and priorities that shape wellbeing at UBC.
Over the coming months, we are refreshing UBC’s Wellbeing Strategic Framework to reflect the evolving needs, priorities and commitments of our community. This is an opportunity to reaffirm who we are and who we aspire to be as a university community.
Your voice matters. We invite you to be part of this shared process.
How to get involved
Whether you experience UBC day-to-day as a student, faculty or staff, or whether you are deeply involved in wellbeing work, your perspective matters. Students, faculty, and staff across UBC are invited to participate. Over the coming months, you can participate through pop-up booths, workshops, consultations and share feedback on draft directions.
