SUSTAINABILITY
At Colorado State University, we explicitly recognize that to sustain human life and wellbeing for the future we must accept the interconnectedness of planetary and human health, of living and nonliving systems. And we affirm that sustainable solutions must be interdisciplinary, ecologically sound, socially just, and economically viable.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Colorado State University acknowledges, with respect, that the land we are on today is the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute Nations and peoples. This was also a site of trade, gathering, and healing for numerous other Native tribes. We recognize the Indigenous peoples as original stewards of this land and all the relatives within it. As these words of acknowledgment are spoken and heard, the ties Nations have to their traditional homelands are renewed and reaffirmed.
CSU is founded as a land grant institution, and we accept that our mission must encompass access to education and inclusion. And, significantly, that our founding came at a dire cost to Native Nations and peoples whose land this university was built upon. This acknowledgment is the education and inclusion we must practice in recognizing our institutional history, responsibility, and commitment.
