Overview
The display of faculty / instructor names in Howdy is controlled in Compass / Banner by the Office of the Registrar.
If the faculty member / instructor was a former student, then they can 1) officially change the name that is associated with their student record at TAMU, 2) change their faculty / instructor name so that it matches the name on their TAMU payroll, or 3) they can request a professional name be displayed for their faculty / instructor name.
If the faculty member / instructor is not a former student, then they can work with the Office of the Registrar to have their name corrected.
