Students now have the opportunity to add their pronouns, as well as the pronunciation of their names, into Albert.  Students can have this information displayed to faculty, advisors, and administrators in Albert, the NYU Home internal directory, as well as other NYU systems.  Students can also opt out of having their pronouns viewed by their instructors, in case they feel more comfortable sharing their pronouns outside of the classroom.

Faculty

Currently, faculty are unable to add their own pronouns.

For students that have indicated their pronouns should be used in the classroom, faculty will see the pronouns as well as name recordings on all class rosters in Albert. Rosters will be updated nightly should students add/update their information, so be sure to check back often.
