Land Acknowledgment
"This public acknowledgment serves to honor and respect Indigenous peoples and their land on which our campus resides. UC San Diego was built upon the territory of the Kumeyaay Nation. From time immemorial, the Kumeyaay people have been a part of this land. Today, the Kumeyaay people continue to maintain their political sovereignty and cultural traditions as vital members of the San Diego community.”
Student Life is dedicated to empowering leaders for a just and humane world by cultivating a community that is anti-racist, and supports people and their intersecting cultural, ethnic, racial, gender, religious, socioeconomic status, age, (dis)ability, and currently unnamed identities. In addressing systemic injustices, we continue our commitment to addressing historically pervasive anti-blackness within our spheres of influence. We acknowledge diversity is an intersectional, active process to create understanding across differences, and not an end result. We encourage both staff and students to increase their awareness and engagement with diversity by creating an environment that promotes both inclusion and advocacy. We create such opportunities through a variety of programs, services, and resources focused on an intentional and critical recognition of historically marginalized experiences, dynamics of power and privilege, and social justice. As part of our commitment to recognizing diversity as an active process and not an end result, we will annually review our diversity-related policies and programs to determine their impact and adjust them as necessary, in order to continue to live out our dedication to equity, diversity, and inclusion.
