LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We collectively acknowledge that Michigan State University occupies the ancestral, traditional, and contemporary Lands of the Anishinaabeg – Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples. In particular, the University resides on Land ceded in the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw. We recognize, support, and advocate for the sovereignty of Michigan’s twelve federally-recognized Indian nations, for historic Indigenous communities in Michigan, for Indigenous individuals and communities who live here now, and for those who were forcibly removed from their Homelands. By offering this Land Acknowledgement, we affirm Indigenous sovereignty and will work to hold Michigan State University more accountable to the needs of American Indian and Indigenous peoples.

Cultivating a welcoming community within the Department

Our Department aims to foster a diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) environment for all members. To that end, the Department maintains a standing committee devoted to DEI representing all members’ perspectives. Learn more about our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.


The discipline of entomology spans sustainability, pollination, food and farming, conservation, natural landscapes, and health. Our video “Tiny Organisms, Epic Possibilities” explains why insects and the study of insects matter. See why we’re passionate about researching, learning and sharing knowledge of arthropods!
