Inclusion matters. Feeling included helps foster connection and a sense of belonging. We want all students to feel like they belong in the School of Health Professions. One simple way to promote inclusion is by saying the names of your peers correctly. Enter NameCoach!

NameCoach is an easy-to-use application in Canvas that allows students and faculty to record the correct pronunciation of their name. Others in the class can listen to the pronunciation to know how to properly address one another.

NameCoach is now available in Canvas for all School of Health Professions courses. Learn how to record your name and hear the names of people in your classes by watching the short video below.
