The establishment of a new Speech Communication Center provides both students and faculty with helpful resources for the classroom. Using the Gannon University Speech Communication Center as an example, practical concerns such as developing a proposal, preparing a budget, and working with campus administrators will be explored in an effort to assist those interested in creating such a Center. For those campuses that already have a Communication Center, this short course will provide a unique perspective on the supervision of the day to day activities. |
