School of Communications

• Poetry
• Writing Lab

Undergraduate and graduate writing courses unlock a voice that is sometimes quieted. Through poetry, fiction, or biographical work, writing helps students unlock their voices and realize that individuals of all abilities can be writers. Cumulative work includes collaborative use of writing as inspiration, such as written projects developed as inspiration for choreography by students in our School of Dance.

Undergraduate and graduate students will learn that improving their body language and vocal variety leads to increased selfesteem. Students will also learn how to become active listeners. In turn, active listening allows students give constructive criticism to their peers. This class welcomes all students and helps train our future public speakers.

Reading Partners connects students who read and students who need additional help in reading. This class encourages reading and provides a safe place for students of all levels to develop and expand their love of reading. Classes in sign language and foreign language studies encourage students’ excitement toward learning new ways to communicate with others in their community.

• Student Leadership Council
• Booster Club/Advisory Council

Students and families interested in participating in either of these groups receive information on meetings and events occurring throughout the year to plan activities that unify the student body, increase school spirit, contribute insight for the student and family perspective, and organize events for social and fundraising purposes.
