The Inclusive Identity Project goal is to deliver an inclusive, respectful, seamless, and welcoming experience for all students. The initiative is brought to you by the Registrar, Multicultural Affairs, Information Technology and University Relations.
UML has an option for students to add a chosen campus name, and now UML students can opt to add their pronouns to their student record. Pronouns indicate how a person wants to be referred to. These enhancements were made so Advisors, Faculty, and Staff can communicate with students using their chosen name and pronoun. These fields are fully optional and can be self-edited by students at any time. This will appear on SIS Class Rosters, Grade Rosters, and Advising, Faculty, and Department Center Reports.
Please note: future enhancements of practices and systems in support of the project goal are planned.
