George Sumner Bridges (born 26 September 1950) is an American sociologist and academic administrator who served as the president of the Evergreen State College from October 2015 through Spring 2021. Quotes I'm George Bridges, I use he/him pronouns. I begin our time together today by acknowledging the indigenous people of the Medicine Creek Treaty, whose land was stolen and on which the college stands. I would like to acknowledge the Squaxin people who are the traditional custodians of this land and pay respect to elders past and present of the Squaxin Island Tribe. I extend that respect to other Native people present. In response to Native Student Alliance requests, we commit to opening every event with this acknowledgement. George Bridges.
