Land Acknowledgement

We want to respectfully acknowledge and honor the Wabanaki Confederacy—specifically the Abenaki, Maliseet, Micmac, Passamaquoddy, and Penobscot Nations—who have stewarded this land throughout the generations. We recognize that we are on their ancestral, traditional, and unceded homelands. We affirm their inherent tribal sovereignty, pay respect to elders past and present, and commit to the ongoing work of truth-telling and decolonization in Maine and beyond.

Important Dates

Fall session begins September 22.

Winter classes start February 1.
