Say My Name

The “Say My Name” page is intended to let students, faculty and staff record their name, so other students, faculty and staff can hear how it is pronounced.  To record your name:

  2. People who have recorded their name will have a play button near their picture when you hover over it.
  3. Click on “Profile” on the top-right corner of the page.  A window should pop up.
  4. Scroll down to the “SAY MY NAME” section.
    Note: You can also go to this page directly by visiting https://itp.nyu.edu/saymyname/.
