Please join the Office of Title IX and the Center for Faculty Excellence on February 22, 2017 from 2-3:30pm in the Ithaca Falls room of the Campus Center. The webinar, Pronouns Matter: Create Inclusive Policies and Practices To Help Students Feel Welcome; Increase Satisfaction & Engagement, features Luca Maurer, Director of the Center for LGBT Outreach, Education and Services.
Language matters! Little changes in grammar and vocabulary can affect how your institution recruits, admits and retains trans and non-conforming members to its community. Avoid frustration and marginalization of your community members by ensuring inclusive language is used in institutional policies and practices to combat traditional identity language.
Join your colleagues from across the country for an interactive webinar where you will learn how to interact with students on your campus to create, adapt and implement strategies for enabling community members to indicate their pronouns safely and with respect. These changes will help your community members feel welcome, increase satisfaction, encourage engagement — and will reflect positively on your institutions reputation.
