Welcome
Land Acknowledgement and Pronoun Statement:
- Whatcom Community College is situated on the land of the Coast Salish People, including the Lummi, Nooksack, Semiahmoo and Samish. The land was stolen through broken treaties. We honor the people who cared and continue to care for the land, water, air and more since time immemorial, and we recognize our responsibility in giving back and beginning to repair and rebuild relationships in our work. This is one small statement, but we hope our impact will be greater.
- We share our pronouns to strengthen our human connection, to show respect to aspects of identity, and as an invitation for community. We understand the fluidity of identity and expression; Therefore, we share pronouns in all introductions to create a supportive environment for learning and leading.
