Communication Support
Communication Support supports students in developing effective written, verbal, and visual communication skills through interactive one-to-one consultations, workshops, and dissertation writing groups. These services are available for any CMU undergraduate or graduate student from any discipline.
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.
