Hosted by the Public Health Promotion Center, the Wellness Fair celebrated and educated employees about the ongoing efforts to promote the integrated approach to wellness in support of UMass being a health-promoting university through the Okanagan Charter and Okanagan Wellbeing Collective.<_o3a_p>

Thirty-eight departments/vendors from on and off campus provided resources to employees. In addition, student groups in the Elaine Marieb College of Nursing and School of Public Health and Health Sciences provided health screenings and students from the Recreation Center held yoga and mindfulness sessions. From ergonomics, to acupuncture and opportunities to talk with university departments and vendors, there was something for everyone to get engaged in.<_o3a_p>
