We know from research that a greater sense of wellbeing increases productivity, supports deeper learning by students, increases our sense of community, and makes us happier and healthier individuals. By embarking on a long-term wellbeing initiative at UBC, we are creating a cultural shift where wellbeing becomes a deeply held commitment and a lens for decision-making in our daily activities.
