Share your pronouns and gender identity
We invite you to share your pronouns and gender identity to help create an inclusive space where all identities are affirmed. When you share your pronouns, OHSU faculty and support staff will see them, and they will appear on class rosters.
How to share your pronouns
Sharing pronouns is encouraged but not required. You can share your pronouns in Student Self-Service, email signatures, ID badges and introductions. Pronoun and gender identity information is confidential and protected under FERPA and OHSU policies.
Using pronouns
Using correct pronouns shows respect and supports inclusion. Misusing pronouns may be considered discrimination under OHSU’s policies.
Faculty and staff support
We offer training to help you better support your students.
