Health Promoting Campus

WPI’s adoption of the Okanagan Charter reflects the university’s values and its commitment to prioritizing the health and well-being of our entire campus community, while also benefiting society at large. We recognize an essential interdependence between people, place, and planet in elevating community health and well-being for those occupying our campus and its environs, both now and into the future.
