Sister Carol Louise Smith, CSJ reads a land acknowledgement. As an institution, Mount Saint Mary’s University acknowledges that we occupy the Land originally and still predominantly inhabited and cared for by the Gabrielino-Tongva and Chumash Peoples, neighboring Nations and the Land itself. We honor and pay respect to their elders and descendants — past, present, and emerging — as they continue their stewardship of the Land and Water. | Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet
