In this workshop, panelists will delve into why pronouns matter, as using a person's chosen name and pronouns is crucial for affirming their identity and showing respect. Students at UNLV are able to update demographic information, including gender identity, sexual orientation, and pronouns via MyUNLV. Panelists will discuss the implications of misgendering and the legal landscape surrounding gender pronoun usage. The discussion will aim to guide students and faculty in creating an environment where everyone's identity is respected.

By participating in this workshop, graduate students and faculty will:

• Enhance understanding of the use of gender pronouns and broader considerations of gender identity, sexual orientation, and gender expression.
• Build awareness of the impacts of gender pronoun legislation on campus.

We are excited to welcome our community expert panelist, AJ Huth from The Center to this year’s conversation.

Refreshments will be provided.
