IDEA Center
The IDEA Center supports belonging, success and empowerment for students and employees across diverse identities and experiences at Plymouth State University.
Commitment to Diversity
Plymouth State University is a community that takes pride in celebrating diversity and embracing differences among all people. Diversity is one of our core values, and we have a longstanding commitment to being a vibrant, inclusive, and multicultural community.
Because PSU is a student-centered institution, our priorities guide us to prepare students for life in a diverse world and to help them gain a global perspective.
We also strive to create an environment that values and supports diversity, equity, and inclusiveness across our community. We are dedicated to providing learning experiences and fostering the constructive discussion of a range of opinions in order to promote enhanced understanding and respect for all people.
Land Acknowledgement
We acknowledge that Plymouth State University exists on the current and ancestral homelands of the Abenaki, Pennacook, and Wabanaki people. We also acknowledge the painful history of genocide, forced assimilation, and efforts to alienate the Indigenous people from their territory here. We commit to supporting Indigenous communities and honoring Indigenous knowledge in our work. With gratitude, we stand in solidarity.
