I work in VT Student Affairs and I think this pronoun thing is


total PC bullshit.and I'm a pretty liberal person. It's just the latest thing that some people in higher ed think is progressive and cool I guess. My preferred pronoun is "hey you".

If you walked through the student affairs resource fair in the ballroom today, i was working at the Rec Sports table. Most parents eat lunch instead of coming to the resource fair, which is what I would've done too. Food over everything else, especially when it's lunchtime.

But I hope overall, you and your Hokie kid found orientation at least somewhat useful. At least the kids start to make some friends. My only involvement with orientation is staffing the Rec Sports table a few days.
