Center News

Hunter, Communication Consultant

My favorite Speaking Center story started last spring when I took CST 390. The first day I walked in, I was a little overwhelmed because there were only seven students in the class. We had many discussions, workshops, and panic text messages because we forgot to do the homework. We quickly grew very close with each other and started relying on each other as peers and close friends. We were always cheering on each others’ successes. 

When I started to complete my shadow hours, I was so excited to see consultations, participate, and give feedback. Although I was only there two days a week, it was the highlight of my week. Everyone was so eager to help me learn and answer my questions. 

This is my first semester working in the center, and I think the best part of all of it is the people. They are so understanding, caring, and they helped me find my voice. I’m so glad the Speaking Center found me, I wouldn’t be the same without it.
