Share Your Gender Pronouns

How can faculty model inclusive language and behavior in their own spaces – digital and in-person?

Share your gender pronouns with students.

Model inclusion and send a message that your course is a safe space for students across the gender spectrum by including your pronouns on your syllabus, on your signature line, and in your LMS profile. It is also helpful to explain why this practice is important by including a link to information such as https://www.mypronouns.org/

As part of an introduction survey, you might also ask students to list their pronouns and ensure that you use their preferred pronouns in correspondence with them.
