Professional Communication

Effective Communication

Professional correspondence with college personnel.

It’s important to communicate clearly and professionally with college personnel verbally and in writing. 

• Be mindful of the language, grammar, and tone you use. 

• Do not expect to get a response to emails immediately or after hours. 

• Professor office hours should be used consistently to build a relationship with faculty as well as improve your ability to connect with the course material.

Write a practice email to potential faculty about an issue, question or disclosure of your learning style. Get a current teacher/professional’s feedback about its content.
