![]() ![]() This communication change would not be new for us. The system would make it especially inclusive of students who are on unique academic journeys, whether they are graduating in three years or spending an extra academic year sub-matriculating into a graduate degree program. However, I also value inclusivity and flexibility, and I believe that Penn should adopt a similar flexible labeling system as Drexel and Penn State. Some people are uncomfortable with ambiguity, so fixed labels help simplify a complex world. We tend to use labels to lighten our cognitive load. One study found that students who attributed personality as changeable (both for themselves and for others) turned out to be less stressed in social exclusion situations compared to students who used fixed labels. Rigid labels can hold us back, whereas flexible labels may help us overcome stress.
