Essma, Managing Consultant

While I was in CST 390, the Speaking Center Theory and Practice course, I was very excited about being part of a center that seemed so fun, friendly and enthusiastic about doing what they did.

My favorite memory was when I was shadowing one of the consultants whose speaker was deaf and had an interpreter present with him. It was amazing to see how the communication worked so well for something that I was worried would be a challenge.

I learned so much about how to handle an unfamiliar situation from the consultant. I realized what a cultural experience I would be gaining from my time at the center with speakers coming from diverse backgrounds with unique challenges and needs.
