Pronouns for Microsoft 365

North Oshawa location: Gordon Willey Building, Room SW100
Downtown location: 61 Charles Street, Main floor

Staff and faculty at Ontario Tech can now choose to set their pronouns for their Microsoft 365 accounts. Should you choose to share your pronouns, they will be displayed in your profile card across Microsoft 365 products such as Outlook and Teams. Additionally, we are adding the option to include pronunciation of names as well.

Who can see my pronouns?
By default, pronouns are not set and not visible. Once set, they will be visible to everyone at Ontario Tech University. You can unset your pronouns at any time.
