Communication Support
Communication Support has trained consultants who are ready to help you with any kind of written, verbal, or visual project. If you're conveying ideas to another person, we'll help you make sure those ideas are clear and communicated effectively.
We offer free communication consulting Monday through Friday, and free workshops regularly throughout the semester. These services are available for any CMU undergraduate or graduate student from any discipline, as well as faculty and staff members.
We also have social events throughout the semester where all the group members can come together to hang out and participate in various activities.
Personalized Consultations
Work one-on-one with our communication experts. Communication Support Consultants teach you new strategies for communicating research, proposals, presentations, essays, and applications. We work with all CMU students, from first-year undergraduates through Ph.D. students publishing papers and dissertations.
Workshops
Learn about specific, research-backed communication strategies, ranging from writing effective emails to presenting data effectively to communicating successfully in a team.
Resources
We have a growing library of handouts, videos, and short online courses that concisely explain specific communication strategies. We cover topics from writing job application letters and statements of purpose to organizing essays to completing your dissertation.
