A Look Ahead

2025 marks another chapter in the international health promoting movement with the expected publication of The Limerick Framework for Action: Advancing the Global Health Promoting Campuses Agenda. This framework builds on the vision of the Okanagan Charter and provides a focus on three key principles of partnership, participation and progress which will directly inform the work ahead.

  • Engage wide stakeholders to broaden Physical Activity to Physical Health including nutrition as a key priority.
Participation
  • Co-create a health literacy campaign with student leadership.
  • Utilize existing university governance structures to actively contribute to review and influence systems, policies and practices that impact their health and well-being.
Progress
  • Working with the Office of Data, Assessment and Institutional Research, build a home for data to showcase key performance indicators of health.
  • Working with the Division of Communications and Marketing, implement unified language of K-State as a university promoting health.

 

In the next year, K-State is poised to build on our commitments to embed health into all aspects of university culture and leading health promotion action and collaboration.
