Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵUB and the University

In order to adequately fulfill its mission and support the primarily Indigenous students inÌý communities in Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ and beyond Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵUB must have a reciprocal relationship with its host institution, Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder. As such, Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵUB strives to make the campus climate more inclusive and equitable, specifically with respect to Indigenous students, faculty and staff.Ìý

Currently, Indigenous students are the least represented racial/ethnic group on Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ Boulder's campus, and Indigenous faculty and staff are also underserved and underrepresented. Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵUB is committed to using its position on campus as an affiliate of ODECE, CNAIS and the Å·ÃÀ¿Ú±¬ÊÓƵ LEAD Alliance to reverse these trends and build networks of support so Indigenous communities can thrive.
