What is Communication?  

"Communication is clearly and effectively exchange information, ideas, facts, and perspectives with persons inside and outside of an organization." (National Association of Colleges and Employers, n.d.).

• Practice using clear verbal, written, and non-verbal communication in class discussions, emails, and presentations.
• Listen carefully to others, ask thoughtful questions, and work on influencing or persuading respectfully when needed.
• Organize your thoughts before speaking or writing to make sure your message is easy for others to understand.
• Consider different learning and communication styles, and be mindful of cultural backgrounds when you communicate with others.
• Ask specific, focused questions when you need information or help from professors, advisors, or supervisors.
• Let your instructor, supervisor, or team know as soon as possible if you need clarification or support to complete a task.
