You Asked, TU Answered: You Can Now Choose Your Preferred Name
TU has instituted Chosen / Preferred Name resources for students, faculty and staff who wanted to utilize a different name than the one that may appear on their email, OneCard or other university-issued items. The initiative originated from the student body and the outcome was a year’s work involving offices across the university, including the Division of Student Affairs, the Office of Inclusion and Institutional Equity and the Office of Technology Services, among others.
Examples where the chosen/preferred name will be used include:
- Class and Grade Roster
- Personal Data and Information Summary
- Blackboard
- Office 365 (OneDrive, SharePoint, and faculty / staff email)
- Google (student email)
- Handshake (student employment)
- Marching Orders (commencement)
- Phonebook (directory)
This initiative is part of President Kim Schatzel’s priorities for Towson University.
