Land Acknowledgment Statement
Land acknowledgment is a process by which individuals are prompted to consider the history of the space they currently inhabit. We would like to recognize that Western Michigan University is located on lands historically occupied by Ojibwe, Odawa, and Bodewadmi nations. Please take a moment to acknowledge and honor this ancestral land of the Three Fires Confederacy, the sacred lands of all indigenous peoples, and their continued presence.
Western Michigan University holds the following as institutional values: diversity, equity, inclusion and social justice. Our collective aim is to create a community where all may belong, and all may learn. These core values of the institution must be clearly articulated to ensure a shared understanding of what these values mean to us as a community. These values will demonstrate our policies, instruction, research, hiring, student engagement, and our ethos. We see these values as the foundation of our mission statement:
Western Michigan University is a learner-centered, research university, building intellectual inquiry and discovery into undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs in a way that fosters knowledge and innovation, and transforms wisdom into action.
