Mission Statement

Our mission is to advance health equity through the preparation of Community Health Education Specialists who explore the multiple levels (individual, family, community, policy, systems) and social determinants that influence behaviour and health. Community health professionals focus on the community as the setting for analysis, assessment, advocacy, program planning, intervention, evaluation, and research, and are committed to developing, enhancing and using evidence-informed strategies to improve population health.

Health and kinesiology, as integral parts of a general education, focus attention upon the vital needs of the human being to acquire attitudes, knowledge and skills necessary for regular participation in healthful living and physical and leisure-time activities. Accordingly, the Division provides courses of instruction both to promote physical wellbeing through athletic and exercise programs, and to prepare teachers and practitioners to promote such health in others. The decreased demands for physical vigour, as well as the increased tensions caused by the technological progress of the modern society, demand a scientific approach to these vital phases of well-being.
