There are several identities that distinguishes learners within academia including but not limited to race, ethnicity, gender identit­­­­­­­­y, socioeconomic status, native language, culture, national origin, religious beliefs, age, disability status, political perspective, military service, documentation status and being family college attendance generation status. The one shared identifier by all of the aforementioned categories among all the persons we serve and impart knowledge to is the outdated term of “student.” I am urging my fellow academicians from this day forth to address all learners in your classrooms, institutions, churches, non-profit organizations, mentor programs in Pre-K-12, undergraduate and graduate studies as “scholars”.
