The Office of Equity and Civil Rights (ECR) at UMBC is committed to promoting inclusivity and fairness within the university community. As part of their efforts, they have developed Land Acknowledgement Resources to recognize and honor the land of Indigenous peoples on which UMBC is located. UMBC acknowledges that it was established upon the land of the Piscataway and Susquehannock peoples, and that many more Indigenous nations have resided in this region over time.

The ECR encourages everyone in the community to share this acknowledgment and respect all past, present, and future Indigenous people connected to this place. The purpose of the Land Acknowledgement Statement is to foster awareness and create a more inclusive environment at UMBC. For more information and frequently asked questions about Land Acknowledgement, you can visit the provided resources.

The ECR and Inclusion Council may update the statement as needed, so it's important to stay informed. Contact the Office of Equity and Civil Rights at UMBC for further assistance or to learn more about their initiatives
