The Gay and Lesbian Studies Reading Room Endowment provides support for a dedicated space in the McHenry Library Expansion to highlight and promote library collections and services in Gay and Lesbian Studies.
Funds will be used to enhance the room's physical facilities, support appropriate library programming, expand and enhance appropriate library staffing, and support other related purposes and activities.
The land on which we gather is the unceded territory of the Awaswas-speaking Uypi Tribe. The Amah Mutsun Tribal Band, comprised of the descendants of indigenous people taken to missions Santa Cruz and San Juan Bautista during Spanish colonization of the Central Coast, is today working hard to restore traditional stewardship practices on these lands and heal from historical trauma.
The land acknowledgement used at UC Santa Cruz was developed in partnership with the Amah Mutsun Tribal Band Chairman and the Amah Mutsun Relearning Program at the UCSC Arboretum.
