Global Perspectives events are designed for Global Division members in NASPA to connect with colleagues around the world to learn about global contexts, global challenges, and global experiences and best practices.
In this session, Dr. Vicki Squires provides a overview of the Health Promoting Campuses movement and the development of the Okanagan Charter in 2015 to contextualize the recent development of the Limerick Framework for Action. Dr. Squires will engage in a discussion about the key elements of the Limerick framework and what the principles and actions mean for healthy organizations. The session will conclude with a description of the recently published book she co-edited and the current research she is conducting with other members of her research team.
