Good communication skills help you to more effectively share communication with others in class, in team or group projects, and professionally. The purpose of the Communication Resource Center (COMM Center) is to empower all Marietta College students to become better, more confident, and more engaged communicators.
Peer Consultation and Coaching Services
Communication is an interactive pursuit! Work with our peer consultants — Marietta College students recommended by faculty members — who have completed training to provide effective communication coaching!
Facilities and Resources
The Communication Center is on the second floor of Mills Hall in room 205. The Center includes a rehearsal area, the ability to record your rehearsal for critique, a quiet study area, computers for research and designing presentation aids/posters, and space to work on group communication projects.

Faculty Support
The Communication Center assists faculty members by providing support for students outside of the classroom and through workshops, classroom visits, and consultations on ways to include and assess oral communication projects/assignments in specific courses. Students may be referred to the Center by their professors.
