RC Name and Pronouns Project
RC Name
We desire for all members of our community to live authentically and be accepted for who they are, starting at the very heart of their identity—their name. We acknowledge that for some Maroons, their legal name may not reflect who they are, how they identify, or their lived experiences.
The RC Name Technical and Education committees, along with the Office of Community, Diversity and Inclusion, worked together to create language, training, and documentation for students, faculty and staff to identify by their chosen name, which we are calling RC Name. An RC Name is simply the name that students, faculty and staff would like to be called at Roanoke College. An RC Name is not required; it is an individual choice. These choices may include, but are not limited to, a middle name, people who use nicknames of a legal name, people who use an anglicized name, or people who use a name that affirms their gender identity.
The form for all Students, Faculty, and Staff.
Chosen Pronouns
We desire that all members of our community may live authentically and be accepted for who they are. We acknowledge that for some Maroons the desire to have their pronouns reflect who they are, how they identify, or their lived experiences. The RC Name Technical and Education committees, along with the Office of Community, Diversity, and Inclusion, worked together to create language, training, and documentation for students, faculty, and staff to identify by their chosen pronoun. The chosen pronoun is one by which students, faculty and staff would like to be identified at Roanoke College. A chosen pronoun is not required; it is an individual choice. Students, faculty, and staff may record their chosen pronoun by completing the Chosen Pronoun form.
Your pronouns will show up in about 2-3 days.
