The Hanson Center for Communication helps Hawkeye engineering students develop great communication skills. Our programming directors host weekly groups aimed at honing writing and presentation skills, and we also work with students by appointment. Our goal is to support students seeking to confidently and effectively communicate their engineering solutions.
For Undergraduate Students
Weekly Drop-In Improv Sessions
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 October 1 - November 19: Wednesdays at 5:00 PM, 4650 SC
