Names & Pronunciations Initiative
[Sudiptho Paul, UW medical student]Fourth year UW medical student Sudiptho (suh-dip-doe) Paul created the Names & Pronunciations Initiative<https://bit.ly/3XNKATE> to highlight the importance of people's names and their right pronunciations and improve how we communicate with each other. "To me, a correctly-pronounced-name conveys respect and acknowledgment for a person's unique presence and inherent value as a human. Correct name pronunciations are foundational in cultivating a safe, inclusive environment for underrepresented, ethnically diverse identities," says Paul.

Anyone with a UW Net ID can order a customized phonetic name pronunciation tag online<https://bit.ly/3XwqlbV>. Learn more from The Huddle<https://bit.ly/3B6WJtT>.
