CCA Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

• California College of the Arts’ current and historical campuses are located in Huichin and Yelamu, also known as Oakland and San Francisco, respectively, on the unceded territories of Chochenyo and Ramaytush Ohlone peoples, who have continuously lived upon this land since time immemorial. We recognize the historic discrimination and violence inflicted upon Indigenous peoples in California and the Americas, including their forced removal from ancestral lands, and the deliberate and systematic destruction of their communities and culture. CCA honors Indigenous peoples—past, present, and future—here and around the world, and we wish to pay respect to local elders.

Residential Education is here to support you in achieving your personal and academic goals throughout your time at California College of the Arts. Our goal is to help you connect with resources on campus and in the Bay Area. We offer educational opportunities in a variety of formats to help you learn new strategies to maintain your personal wellbeing, communicate effectively with your peers, and learn more about cultures different from your own.

• Support and guidance from professional staff and trained student team members
• Two CCA-sponsored residential communities: Blattner Hall and Founders Hall
• Opportunities to build global community, celebrate diversity, and develop life skills
• Residential curriculum
• Connection and community building
