Pronouns

Once you opt-in and provide your pronouns via Williams Student Records, pronouns will appear on class rosters and in the Faculty Advisor Center. Pronouns will also automatically feed to GLOW and Williams Students Online (WSO).

Pronouns will be visible only to campus constituents who have login access to Williams Student Records, GLOW, and WSO—faculty, assigned academic advisors, classmates (GLOW), and campus community members (WSO).
