We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment at the University of Stirling. Thanks to a request from the Student Union, we are excited to announce the activation of pronouns in Microsoft 365, which will allow everyone to express their gender identity more accurately.
“I am pleased to have worked with IS on this. While we have not resolved all issues that our LGBTQ+ community face, I know that this is a positive step forward in making our University more inclusive.”
Justine Pedussel, VP Communities
