Personal Gender Pronouns Are Available in Canvas

Canvas has a new feature that allows you to add your personal gender pronouns. You can follow these directions to add yours. This setting will make your personal gender pronouns visible to faculty and classmates in various areas of Canvas. Please note that this is entirely optional. If you do not want to add a personal gender pronoun, simply do nothing. If you have any questions about personal gender pronouns you may reach out to Audry Bernal at audry.bernal@lwtech.edu. If you use pronouns that are not listed, please contact eLearning at elearning@lwtech.edu. If you are interested in learning more, here is a short page on why pronouns matter.
