Judith Frank Business Communications Center
In the world of business, you need to be able to communicate well - both on paper and in person. The Judith R. Frank Business Communications Center works with Tippie students to ensure that they graduate with the communication skills they need to become industry leaders. It's just one of the ways that our innovative programming has an impact on our graduates.
Our trained staff of graduates and peers serves more than 800 students each semester. Our tutors are trained to handle both general business writing and specific assignments, and mentor each student individually, using course work as guidelines for critique and review. We work closely with professors and teaching assistants in the writing-intensive courses, develop handouts based on particular assignments, and give targeted presentations to classes.
Announcements
The Frank Communications Center hosts English Language Learner Discussion Circles throughout the semester. Students, particularly non-native English speakers, are invited to attend any of the four one-hour sessions each week. The Circles offer students the opportunity to speak candidly with a peer tutor about any number of student-suggested topics. If you are interested in improving your conversation and interview skills please stop by S126 during any of the following times. Students may come and go as they please during the hour. No advance sign up is necessary.
