Read on to learn about resources to help Ukraine, land acknowledgement statements, slow living, and upcoming events! 

Chapman has compiled faculty-vetted resources for community members to learn more about the conflict and donate to the people of Ukraine.

We invite you to learn about Indigenous land acknowledgement. This is a statement that shows respect, recognition, and honors the Indigenous Peoples of the land on which we work and live today. Acknowledgement is a simple way of inspiring others to take action to support Indigenous communities as well as resist the erasure of Indigenous history. For tips on how to create land acknowledgement statements and to learn about how to support Indigenous communities this year, visit the Native Governance Center.

The concept of slow living encourages active reflection to slow down in the everyday hustle by buying time through intentional planning and conscious decisions. This movement promotes thinking about what it means to sustain oneself by reflecting on consumption and its effects on the environment, as well as taking sustainable approaches towards improving mental health and overall wellness, establishing daily routines, and avoiding burnout. To learn more on how to implement slow living and sustainable habits, check out our latest blog post.
