The Colleges of the Fenway recognize that those gathering, both in-person and virtually, must first acknowledge the land upon which our institutions occupy. Our institutions are located on the traditional and ancestral lands of the Wampanoag, the Massachusett, the Nipmuc, and the Abenaki tribes. From Manchester to Boston to Worcester, our campuses strive to nurture community, collaboration, and respect for our students, staff, faculty, and alumni. As an extension of this spirit, we commit to knowing better and doing better for those who honored this land first.
We pay respect to the people of the the Wampanoag, the Massachusett, the Nipmuc, and the Abenaki tribes, past, present, and future.
