Naturescape & Wellbeing at UCI @ Zoom (RSVP for Link)
Apr 21 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm

UCI is fortunate to have substantial open space, a feature that distinguishes the institution from most other major research universities. This presents a generational opportunity – how do we want to present ourselves, physically, to the world? To address this, we have redefined the concept of “outdoors” here at UCI, calling it our Naturescape, where institutionally, we can leverage that potential in ways that contribute to our core values. One of those core values is to embed health and wellbeing into all aspects of campus culture, emphasizing the interconnectedness between individuals and their environments.

 

Please join us for an informative session to learn more about current and upcoming campus initiatives helping to create a more holistic and health-promoting built environment. We will be joined by a panel of speakers who will provide insight on the vision and design concepts of Naturescape and its alignment with current wellbeing campus initiatives, including adoption efforts for the Okanagan Charter.

 

Speakers:

UCI Nature

Matt Deines – Senior Planner, Campus Physical and Environmental Planning

Doug Everhart – Director, Student Wellness & Health Promotion

 

Date: Wednesday, April 21

Time: 12:00 P.M. to 1:00 P.M.

*Open to all UCI students, staff, and faculty

Join the Wellness Initiative in Social Ecology (WISE) Peers as they host their weekly WISE Wednesday, where they create a space outside of the classroom space allowing the UCI community to have a space to chat about mental health/wellness with our guest speakers.

This week’s special guests are our very own Doug Everhart (Director) and Beth England Mackie (Assistant Director) who will be giving an overview of our department and it’s resources. We hope you can join us and learn more about our department!

WISE (@uciwisepac) aims to improve and expand upon mental/behavioral health and wellness programming services for Social Ecology students while complimenting ongoing campus efforts. We plan to address gaps in current existing resources available to students, including avenues that may be indirectly related to mental health and well-being.
