as part of vanderbilt\u2019s ongoing efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for learning, brightspace now provides students, faculty, and staff the option to indicate their preferred pronouns in their user profiles. brightspace user profiles are visible to anyone who shares a course with a particular user, including students, instructors, teaching assistants, librarians, and brightspace administrators.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
to add preferred pronouns to your brightspace profile, follow these steps.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
to view the preferred pronouns of another brightspace user, click on the user icon next to their name wherever that icon appears, including the classlist and discussions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
students and others who choose to indicate their preferred pronouns on brightspace should know that those pronouns may become widely known and used in the vanderbilt community, and may be used by members of the vanderbilt community in communications external to the university. however, usage of a student\u2019s pronoun by other members of the vanderbilt community is not compulsory.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
faculty and staff who want to learn more about pronoun usage and other gender identity and lgbtqi topics are encouraged to take advantage of the variety of campus resources available including the 2022年世界杯中国小组赛积分\u2019s\u00a0teaching beyond the gender binary<\/a>\u00a0guide and the\u00a0office of lgbtqi life<\/a>\u2019s\u00a0pride<\/a>\u00a0training workshop. faculty and staff are also encouraged to refer students to the english language center\u2019s (elc)\u00a0pronoun guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
