The Communication Resource Center
The Communication Resource Center provides one-on-one, drop-in assistance and half-hour appointments to students seeking advice or guidance on their writing, speaking or reading assignments. Specially trained students staff the Center; they have been recommended as assistants by faculty because of their success in communication and their ability to work with others.

The primary purpose of the Communication Resource Center is to help students with their writing, speaking or reading assignment by conferencing with them and responding to their individual questions and concerns. Working collaboratively with the student, the Communication Resource Center assistant provides input regarding prewriting and brainstorming, mapping, establishing thesis statements, developing and organizing ideas, revising, analyzing and comprehending, or proofreading and editing. The assistant offers suggestions, but the student makes the final decisions regarding her assignment. The Communication Resource Center is located in the Computer Center, so the student has access to word processing and other software applications that support the writing, speaking and reading processes and a place to practice her oral presentations.

The Communication Resource Center is located inside the Computer Center, Room TL109D.
