Class of 2024 - we're preparing for your graduation ceremony, and we want to make sure we get every detail just right – especially when it comes to pronouncing your name. We understand that every name is unique and carries significance, so we're asking for your help to honor that. The form below asks for the phonetic spelling of your name.
You might be wondering what we mean by the "phonetic spelling" of your name. Simply put, phonetic spelling is a way to break down your name into sounds, making it easier for our name readers to pronounce it correctly as you cross the stage on graduation day. It's not about changing the spelling of your name for any written materials but giving us a guide on how to say it just the way you prefer.
Example:
Tara Hedlund
First Name - Tear - Ah
Last Name - Head - Lund
