Yale instructors and staff have access to NameCoach, a service that allows users to record their preferred pronunciation of their name. Once recorded, an audible icon will appear next to the name in the online directory and Canvas. Instructors can also read about student use of NameCoach. Yale welcomes new instructors to share their preferred modes of address as a way to belong in the community.
