Committee on Ethnic, Racial and Gender Equity (CERGE)
Land Acknowledgement
As we all journey on the trail of life, we wish to acknowledge the spiritual and physical connection the Pennacook, Abenaki and Wabanaki Peoples have maintained to N’dakinna (homeland) and the aki (land), nebi (water), olakwika (flora) and awaasak (fauna) that the University of New Hampshire community is honored to steward today. We also acknowledge the hardships they continue to endure after the loss of unceded homelands and champion the university’s responsibility to foster relationships and opportunities that strengthen the well-being of the Indigenous People who carry forward the traditions of their ancestors.
Mission
To promote Race/Ethnicity and Gender Equity through advancing changes in departmental culture, ongoing curriculum review, and ongoing training and support of all faculty, staff, and students.
Anti-racism Statement
In the spirit of solidarity, shared humanity, and concern for antiracist communities - both national and global - the University of New Hampshire’s Department of Social Work faculty celebrate diversity, equity, and inclusion as central to our mission and affirm solidarity with those individuals and groups most socially vulnerable.
