When I was in college, I didn't call my teachers anything. No one ever said how they wanted to be addressed, and as the first generation in my family to go to college, I had no idea what was appropriate. So I strongly support explaining preferences and protocol to one's students.
What I've told mine is that I became a Mrs. two years ago, a Dr. a year and a half ago, and a professor in September. As I'm very happy about all three, they can call me whatever they're comfortable with.
I prefer titles, but wouldn't use them if I were in an institution that generally didn't do so. Emmanuel is small and very intimate, though, and the general feeling there is that maintaining student/teacher boundaries is essential. So most faculty do go by a title. (And the president, a nun, is "Sister Janet" to EVERYONE.)
