Dear Members of the George Washington University Community,
At GW, we strive to foster the most diverse and inclusive community, where everyone feels they belong. Over the past year, the Office for Diversity, Equity and Community Engagement, GW Information Technology, and several campus partners have been working to provide all members of our community with the opportunity to indicate their chosen first name, gender identity, and pronouns. We are pleased to share updates and action items in progress.
Submitting personal identifiers through GWeb
All community members can now indicate their chosen first name (if different from their legal name), gender identity, and pronouns through GWeb’s Personal Information page. Instructions are available here.
These changes are intended to be affirming to all members of our community by enabling everyone to indicate how they identify and would like to be addressed. These changes also allow others to easily access information about how members of our community wish to be addressed, further facilitating respectful discourse. Although you are not required to update this information, you may do so at any time.
