In order that your name be read properly at the Hooding Ceremony on June 20, 2008, it is important that we know the correct pronunciation. Although the pronunciation of many names is obvious, some require special attention. If your name is one that is pronounced in a special way, or may not be easily pronounced by the reader of names, please use the pronunciation key found here (http://dictionary.reference.com/help/ahd4/pronkey.html) to advise us how your name should be pronounced, or indicate a familiar word that rhymes with your name:

For example:
Name: Leslie Costanzo: cō STAN zō
Name: Kim Lamagna sounds like “lasagna”
 

If you require further assistance with writing your name phonetically, please contact Kate Veraldi (k-veraldi@northwestern.edu)
