You Have Value

We would like to acknowledge that all USU courses and services are provided on the traditional lands of the Diné, Goshute, Paiute, Shoshone, and Ute Peoples past and present, and honor the land itself and the people who have stewarded it throughout the generations.

The Inclusion Center stands with our Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community as they face significant escalations of harassment, discrimination, and hate crimes since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Continued promotion of rhetoric that refers to this virus as the Chinese or Wuhan virus has only contributed to the rates of harassment and violence. However, this harassment and hate towards Asian and AAPI people have a long history in our nation. It must stop with us.
We at the Inclusion Center condemn all forms of violence, xenophobia, and racism. Our team renews its dedication to acting on behalf of and representing the concerns of our marginalized student communities. We continue to work collaboratively with our campus partners such as CAPS and the Office of Global engagement to “foster an inclusive campus” and “fight to disrupt and end racism”. We welcome you to join us - to learn with us, grieve with us, rage with us, and stand up together.
We remind all our students at this time that we are here for you. Please reach out if you don’t know where to turn for support or if you simply need a space to process, to heal, and to hope.
