We Thrive@Russell Sage
Building on our reputation in the health sciences, Thrive@Russell Sage extends into and beyond the classroom to help members of the Sage community achieve the 8 Dimensions of Wellness: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, environmental, spiritual, vocational, and financial.
Thrive@ Russell Sage Commitment
Our commitment to wellness and well-being is based on the following beliefs:
- Well-being and health require knowledge and liberal learning skills.
- Individual wellness depends on social structures and a just society.
- Gender equity and inclusion are part of a healthy community.
- Healthy societies are diverse, inclusive and welcome the creativity of all persons.
- Individual health is dependent on the health of the planet.
The Okanagan Charter
In October 2022, Russell Sage signed the Okanagan Charter, formalizing Sage’s membership in the U.S. Health Promoting Campuses Network. Sage was the 11th academic institution in the United States and the second institution in New York state to sign the charter.
Why the Okanagan Charter Matters
The Okanagan Charter calls on post-secondary schools to “embed health into all aspects of campus culture and to lead health promotion action and collaboration locally and globally.”
The charter’s name reflects its origins on the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan campus in the territory of the Okanagan Nation.
How Are Your Eight Dimensions?
Thrive@Russell Sage put together Sage-specific definitions of the Eight Dimensions of Wellness that will help build a healthier Russell Sage College.
- Physical: Recognize the need for physical activity, diet, sleep, and nutrition to achieve a fulfilling and sustainable life.
- Emotional: Develop a positive self-image and relationship with others that leads to the ability to respond effectively to life’s circumstances.
- Social: Develop positive meaningful interpersonal relationships and an evolving collaborative support system.
- Intellectual: Employ creative abilities and adaptive skills, theories, or methodologies gained in one situation to new situations to explore important issues, solve complex problems, and develop creative solutions.
- Occupational: Develop satisfaction and balance with one’s personal and professional life.
- Spiritual: Experience a sense of deep meaning and purpose in life that leads to a guiding set of principles and values that give direction to one’s life.
- Financial: Develop economic understanding and the ability to shape sustainable finances in ways that reflect strong moral and ethical values.
- Environmental: Understand the dynamic balance between the individual, community, and natural environment that promotes sustainable action and respects diversity.
