I was wondering if there was a way to display student name on my home page. I am thinking of displaying something like: Welcome, [Student name].
I am not sure if it's possible to do that. Let me know if anyone has done this before

What you're describing is possible in Blackboard using "template variables", but there is no equivalent functionality built into Canvas.
Some admins/developers are trying different ways to replicate this functionality by customizing the Canvas theme with additional code (see https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Higher-Ed-Canvas-Users/simulating-replicating-Blackboard-quot-tem... ) but it's not something that you can do as an individual instructor.
