Recording Your Name Pronunciation for Commencement
- Joel Whitney
Owned by Joel Whitney
It is important to us that we correctly pronounce your name when it is called during our commencement ceremony.
To help us do so, please send a short recording of the pronunciation of your name, which we will reference when preparing for the ceremony.
We recommend using a recorder app on your phone, then sharing the recording with us. Instructions for doing so are below.
Recordings should be sent to CommencementSubmit@syr.edu. Please include the full spelling of your name in the subject line.
