The Hanson Center for Communication is helping Hawkeyes develop great communication skills by hosting weekly groups aimed at honing writing and presentation skills and supporting students who want to build a habit of effectively communicating their engineering solutions.

For Undergraduate Students

Weekly Drop-In Improv Sessions

Come have fun and learn the basics of improvisation, no experience necessary!

One of the best ways to build confidence and ease when communicating is through learning the art of improvisation. Programming Director Kristy Hartsgrove Mooers will hold drop in improv clinics once a week in the Hanson Center for students to learn basic warmups and short form improvisation games, no experience needed. We will have a good time while challenging ourselves and building solid communication skills!

From February 5 - March 26: Wednesdays at 5:00 PM, 4650 SC
