OUR MISSION
UMass Amherst regards wellbeing as fundamental to our success as individuals, as a university, and as a community. We aspire to making wellbeing a priority that guides our daily interactions, decisions, policy, planning, and program development.
Informed by the Okanagan Charter, we commit to making the university a better place to live, work, and learn by embedding wellbeing practices across our university culture.
About the Charter
UMass is proud to be an early adopter of this significant movement. Learn more about the Okanagan Charter and its pioneers.
WHO WE ARE
The Okanagan Wellbeing Collective is made up of faculty, staff, and students representing various departments and disciplines, strategically organized into four pillars:
- Health and Wellness
- Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
- Sustainability
- Built Environment
While each pillar is charged with their own area of focus, all pillar members work together to ensure that no stone is left unturned as we work to embed wellbeing into the culture at UMass.
