“Universities need to be challenged to undertake initiatives that are holistic and important. This book brings together stories, examples, and cases from across a range of topics in an integrative way that simply doesn’t exist elsewhere. It calls on universities to be and do better – and has the potential to be a significant contribution as a road map for HOW to do that, in the context of holistic, complex, whole-of-university endeavors. It is an important piece for university leadership, students, faculty, staff, and public sector stakeholders to all read and consider.” -- Teri C. Balser, Professor of Sustainability and Former Provost, University of Calgary “Health Promoting Universities brings together many interesting and important elements that support the adoption and functioning of HPU initiatives. This book is important, specifically because it takes COVID-19 into account, which has changed the landscape and rendered other pre-existing works insufficient. I appreciate the book’s emphasis on implementation, and I think the volume brings together many useful examples and strategies for tackling important areas of addressing wellbeing on campus. This text could be used in public health and health promotion courses, and higher education and leadership programs, while also having practical value for people implementing HPU or wellbeing initiatives on campuses.” -- J. Hope Corbin, Professor of Health and Community Studies, Western Washington University
