Today’s employers are looking for graduates who enter the workforce as skilled communicators.

Each activity is team based, interactive, and reinforces the writing process of plan, write, and edit using analysis and reflection. A 90-minute activity session takes educators through the highlights and materials, giving participants three experiential classroom activities to build communication skills.
