About CU Boulder

Creating Supportive Environments

Creating and supporting campus environments where everyone matters and all can thrive is not the responsibility of a single campus unit, but of the entire campus community. Our collaborative work must form a solid foundation for all we do: teaching, research, development, leadership, mentorship, supervision, innovation and service. Building on shared equity leadership, academic and administrative units are creating action plans to support student, staff, and faculty success.

Land Acknowledgment

The University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado’s flagship university, honors and recognizes the many contributions of Indigenous peoples in our state. CU Boulder acknowledges that it is located on the traditional territories and ancestral homelands of the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Ute and many other Native American nations. Their forced removal from these territories has caused devastating and lasting impacts. While the University of Colorado Boulder can never undo or rectify the devastation wrought on Indigenous peoples, we commit to improving and
enhancing engagement with Indigenous peoples and issues locally and globally.

We will do this by:

  • Recognizing and amplifying the voices of Indigenous CU Boulder students, staff, and faculty, and their work.
  • Educating, conducting research, supporting student success and integrating Indigenous knowledge.
  • Consulting, engaging, and working collaboratively with tribal nations to enhance our ability to provide access and culturally sensitive support and to recruit, retain and graduate Native American students in a climate that is inclusive and respectful.
