“…Examining the history of student services and support for well-being, from a narrow, siloed perspective to a more holistic view, can provide campus administration with a perspective of lessons learned, as Rhatigan (1974) pointed out. The examination of well-being on campus highlights how faculty and staff are an afterthought in this regard.…”

“…Historically, campuses have been concerned with a narrow definition of wellness and well-being, focusing on the physical needs of students (Hardy Cox & Strange, 2010;Hevel, 2016) Rhatigan (1974), writing from an American context, purported that "student personnel administrators appear to be unaware of the importance of history in the development of the profession" (p. 11). He noted that this historical and foundational knowledge was, however, critical for universities and its administrators to consider so that they may learn from past successes and challenges and gain deeper insights into the crucial role that these services play in supporting students.…”

This paper traces the history of health promotion on campuses, including the initial attempts at providing oversight over student behaviour to the increased need for further supports after the influx of World War II veterans onto campuses, to the focus on providing a much broader range of supports that consider well-being from a holistic stance. We describe the current context where campuses are beginning to take a more intentional and organized approach to well-being across Canada; for context, we have included a description of our recent study that explores impactful practices on Health Promotion campuses that have implemented the Okanagan Charter (2015) (Authors, in press). The immediate context with the evolving global pandemic, reliance on online learning, emphasis on diversity and increasing access for all will also be explored. Lastly, we suggest future directions for campuses to take to address the current pressures and how a network of campuses engaged in well-being efforts who are employing whole systems approaches can be a hopeful model for ensuring well-being on Canadian campuses in the future.
