Tuesday, October 8 - Pronouns Day

Share your pronouns to show that respecting and sharing pronouns should be commonplace.  Wear a sticker with your pronouns and/or add your pronouns to your email signature. This is one of many ways to help transgender and gender non-conforming students feel more welcome.
