Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge and honor, with respect, the Indigenous Nations on whose traditional homelands Montana State University Billings now stands and whose historical and cultural relationships with the land continue to this day. Many Indigenous peoples thrive in this place—alive and strong.

Diversity

The Library at Montana State University Billings strives to promote a diverse and inclusive campus where all students, faculty, staff, and alumni feel supported, connected, and valued in a welcoming campus community. We are committed to sustaining a culture of individual success, personal and intellectual growth for all, while respecting the dignity and rights of all persons. We prioritize the efforts that create and support different working, teaching, research and learning environments by celebrating and respecting the various dimensions of people’s identities and the complex way in which these identities interact.

The MSUB Library is proud to serve these numerous dimensions amongst people, which include but are not limited to ability, age, appearance, athletic and student organization involvement, ethnicity, family/marital status, gender, gender expression, immigration status, language, military/veteran status, nationality, political ideology, race, religion, spirituality, sex, sexuality, socioeconomic status, as well as other personal identities and experiences.

Libraries are for everyone.
