Words matter – especially when it comes to writing and knowing the best words to use to be more inclusive.

The VUMC Pride Employee Resource Group will present a Gender-Neutral Writing Workshop at 11:30 a.m. (CDT) Tuesday, June 25 on Microsoft Teams.

The goal of this workshop is for participants to learn about commonly used gendered words and simple ways to make their writing more inclusive with gender-neutral language.

The one-hour writing workshop is open all VUMC employees. Any colleague interested should fill out the following RedCap registration survey: https://redcap.vumc.org/surveys/?s=4HAJ4NCETJ9ALXCP

In addition, the group champions VUMC’s Strategic Directions of “Making Diversity and Inclusion Intentional” by creating a more inclusive workplace through education, communication, and mentorship.
