Because Names and Pronouns Matter
The Identity Project is a student-driven, Institute-wide initiative that upgrades CalArts' technological infrastructure to both honor and align with the diverse identities of all students, staff and faculty. When fully updated, the software systems used across campus on a daily basis will incorporate chosen name, chosen pronoun and gender identity.
Through the creation of a more inclusive space for the full diversity of all identities — both on campus and online — the Identity Project should have a positive impact to every member of our community, and not just those who request to change their identifiers as a result of the project.
