Reading Graduate Names

Graduates are required to provide a phonetic pronunciation for how they would like their name read at the commencement ceremony. NameCoach will send each graduate an email with a link to record and provide their name pronunciation.

NameCoach pronunciation deadline: Tuesday, December 10

How to record your pronunciation

Graduates will receive their name card upon arrival at the Kohl Center. During the ceremony, graduates will give their card to a name reader who will use the provided pronunciation to read their name as the graduate crosses the stage. There is no master list that graduates’ names are read from.
