Syracuse University MySlice portal now includes pronoun options! We encourage all students, staff, and faculty to select and share their pronouns in the portal. Pronouns can be used in various systems and software at Syracuse University. Although not all systems can accommodate pronouns currently, we are working hard to identify where stakeholders wish to make them available.
Please refer to the Pronouns Frequently Asked Questions in Answers.
We offer educational in-person Pronoun Competency Workshops. This 1.5-2 hour session provides an overview of the Syracuse University MySlice service and a primer on the role of pronouns and preferred names as a part of LGBTQ+ inclusion and cultural sensitivity. Workshop outcomes are:
- Review the history of Preferred Name & Pronoun service.
- Consider the function and role of gender in our lives.
- Learn how to select pronouns in MySlice.
- Practice using gender pronouns in common situations.
- Increase the number of database and computer systems that incorporate pronouns.
Students, faculty, and staff can expand their knowledge in additional ways by attending a Safe Zone training offered through the LGBTQ+ Resource Center.
