Acknowledgements & Land Acknowledgement
Acknowledgements
As a land-grant institution, Utah State University campuses and centers reside and operate on the territories of the eight tribes of Utah, who have been living, working, and residing on this land from time immemorial. These tribes are the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Indians, Navajo Nation, Ute Indian Tribe, Northwestern Band of Shoshone, Paiute Indian Tribe of Utah, San Juan Southern Paiute, Skull Valley Band of Goshute, and White Mesa Band of the Ute Mountain Ute. We acknowledge these lands carry the stories of these Nations and their struggles for survival and identity. We recognize Elders past and present as peoples who have cared for, and continue to care for, the land. In offering this land acknowledgment, we affirm Indigenous self-governance history, experiences, and resiliency of the Native people who are still here today.
We would like to thank each of the authors for their enthusiastic participation over the past 18 months. Habits of Mind: Designing Courses for Student Success is a showcase of some of USU’s best educators committed to transformative and impactful learning.
Additionally, we thank Travis Thurston and Shelley Arnold for their assistance in the publication process and for bringing our idea to the ETE subcommittee. We also thank Heather Jensen for work on Pressbooks and with the editorial process. We appreciate your time and guidance.
The Office of Empowering Teaching Excellence, the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Center for Intersectional Gender Studies and Research, the World Languages and Cultures Department, and the History Department all contributed funds for copyediting, which is greatly appreciated.
