Provide Your Name Pronunciation

Graduates, to prepare for Winter 2024 Commencement, you are required to provide the pronunciation of your name as you would like it read at the ceremony.

Check your email for an invitation from NameCoach with instructions to complete your phonetic pronunciation form and name recording. Your information will be printed on a card, which you will pick up when you arrive at the Kohl Center and hand to a name reader as you cross the stage. 

Please note that if your application to graduate was received after the October 25, 2024, deadline, your name will not be printed in the commencement program.
