While supporting our students is California State University Northridge’s number one priority, the LGBTQIA+ Advisory Committee understood that there needed to be better access to resources for not just current students, but faculty/staff, prospective students, and allies.

Students can now update their Preferred Name and Pronouns in PeopleSoft.
Without realizing it, we use pronouns all the time. We use these pronouns in speech and writing to take the place of people’s name and many other proper nouns. Often, when speaking of someone in the third person, these pronouns have a gender implied (think he/she).
These associations with gender are where our language can become triggering or divisive for folks whose gender expression doesn’t match their gender identity. Using someone's correct pronouns is one of the simplest ways to show your respect for their identity.
