It is imperative for the cultivation of a safe and respectful atmosphere that faculty and staff respect the identity of all students. Recognizing a student’s pronouns is just as important as recognizing their name; it is a crucial piece of their core identity. Please see this infographic for more information about the importance of proper pronoun recognition.
It is up to individual students whether or not they wish to disclose their pronouns. If a student adds their pronouns, their decision is not set in stone; they can make changes when registering for classes.
