"We at UCR would like to respectfully acknowledge and recognize our responsibility to the original and current caretakers of this land, water, and air: the Cahuilla, Tongva, Luiseño, and Serrano peoples and all of their ancestors and descendants, past, present, and future. Today this meeting place is home to many Indigenous peoples from all over the world, including UCR faculty, students, and staff, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on these homelands."

> Dear UCR English Department,
> 
> My name is Donna Hakimbaba, and I am a content acquisition editor for Vignette House Publishing, an independent press dedicated to amplifying new and diverse voices. I am currently working on an exciting anthology project that will feature original poems, short stories, and creative nonfiction by college students across Southern California. I’m reaching out to see if UCR would be interested in participating. Our goal is to showcase emerging talent and give student writers the opportunity to be professionally published. 
> 
> As a recent graduate in Literary Journalism from UC Irvine, I know how powerful early opportunities like this can be in a young writer’s career. This anthology is meant to offer students a platform beyond campus—an opportunity for emerging writers to gain real-world publishing experience, receive recognition in a professional setting, and begin building a portfolio that can support future creative or academic pursuits. 
> 
> Would this be something that your department/students might be interested in? I’d love to provide more details, including submission guidelines, timelines, and how we can collaborate to spotlight your students’ work.
> 
> Thank you for your time, and I hope we can connect!
> 
> Warm regards,
> Donna Hakimbaba
