John Kelly, Geography & Earth Science, co-authored the chapter "Losing Ground: Indigenous Territoriality and the Núcleo Agrario in Mexico" in Invisible Borders in a Bordered World: Power, Mobility, and Belonging published on Sept. 1 by Routledge. John Kelly collaborated with Peter Herlihy and other geographers in this book chapter culminating seven years of binational research. In sum: "while we acknowledge the creative agency of indigenous communities and individuals, the door is closing on the primary means of effective indigenous territoriality, as communal land holdings are converted into private property, and often then sold, in the absence of any legally-recognized regional territories."

THANK YOU to the many staff and faculty who greeted students and their families at the Verification Tent during Residence Life Move In Week. These welcoming faces helped ensure those who are vaccinated are recorded as such and those who are not vaccinated had completed a negative COVID test prior to move in. We could not have completed this large task without their assistance. They have helped keep our community healthy and contributed to the campus-wide endeavor of welcoming students back to campus.
