[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ask them to call you by your first name. You should be training them to be professionals and (future) peers. The department receptionist doesn't use your title, and neither should (adult) students. Many of them may be uncomfortable calling you by your first name, and will default to Professor. Just answer them, don't correct them[/quote] Actually, our departmental administrator uses my title when students are present, and we faculty refer to each other as "Dr." when we mention our colleagues' names to our students, too. First names are for when students are not around - and the right to use first names is therefore bestowed as an honor when a PhD student passes their dissertation defense. Individual adult students with long relationships with the department may use first names with us sometimes in individual conversation, but otherwise no.[/quote]
