Let Others Hear Your Name Pronuncation

|

Namecoach, a tool long used at UTHSC for commencement, white coat ceremonies, and course rosters, is now available on the campus directory. After searching for someone, if they have provided their name pronunciation, a small triangular button will appear to the right of their name. Selecting that button will allow you to hear that person’s recording.

If you would like to make a recording of your name, follow the instructions on the campus directory “Change Information” page.
