The UC San Diego community holds great respect for the land and the original people of the area where our campus is located. The university is built on the un-ceded territory of the Kumeyaay Nation. Today, the Kumeyaay people continue to maintain their political sovereignty and cultural traditions as vital members of the San Diego community. We acknowledge their tremendous contributions to our region and thank them for their stewardship. *The Intertribal Resource Center is working with Kumeyaay community members and the campus community to create an official statement for UC San Diego. The above statement is a current draft currently used by the Intertribal Resource Center.

STUDENT STORY Stephanie (she/her)

I frequent the Intertribal Resource Center because it is a diverse space in which they provide all the resources I need to succeed. I am also a member of the UC San Diego chapter of the Tau Sigma National Honor Society. This society recognizes and promotes the academic excellence and involvement of transfer students, and being part of this prestigious group has been a significant milestone in my academic career. It has enhanced my UC San Diego experience by allowing me to build community with fellow transfer students.
