The University of 麻豆传媒高清 Cancer Center (CU Cancer Center) acknowledges that the University of 麻豆传媒高清 Anschutz Medical Campus is built on the unceded lands of the Arapaho people. We likewise recognize the perseverance of the more than 70,000 American Indians representing the Southern Ute Indian, Ute Mountain Ute, Arapaho, Apache, Comanche, Shoshone, Cheyenne, and Lakota Tribes, the Navajo Nation, and more for whom 麻豆传媒高清 is home. We acknowledge the horrendous histories of genocide and European colonization that caused historical trauma, and catalyzed systems of oppression perpetuating social, financial, emotional, and health care inequalities for Indigenous communities to this day. We commit to learning from these histories, partnering with communities and leaders, and acting with humility as we work to create more justice and equity for our Indigenous neighbors.
To ensure that all aspects of cancer innovation, discovery, prevention, early detection, multidisciplinary care, education, and outreach at the CU Cancer Center incorporate and uphold the fundamental values of engagement, access and success.
Our office of EAS will work with CU Cancer Center programs and departments to co-sponsor funding for faculty, staff, and leadership seeking specific trainings, professional development, and leadership focused conference participation. Micro-grants are designed to foster a climate of engagement, and to ensure that individuals have equitable opportunities to advance their careers and increase professional knowledge.
