From its design in the Communication \nCenter Task Force Report in 2007, the Communication Center has presented\n a strong vision: It not only includes CommLab (with multiple kinds of \ntutoring and practice spaces for writing and design), but it also \nincludes four Rehearsal Studios (with multiple spaces for coaching \npresentations and small group interactions as well as providing \nopportunities for student to use the spaces for presentation \nrehearsals). In addition, the Communication Center has two offices (for \nthe new Director and her two Assistant Directors), two small group \nmeeting and conferencing rooms, a Resource Room for tutor meetings, and a\n storage space. In addition to the two Assistant Directors, there are \nfive professional tutors--all of whom hold PhDs in a \ncommunication-related disciplines. Later this year, peer-tutors will \nbegin working in the space, and plans to include Research Tutors from \nthe Library and ESL Tutors from the Language Institute are also being \ndeveloped. \u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECommunication Center: Our History\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBefore this new \nCommunication Center, Georgia Tech has never had a campus-wide \ncommunication resource. Having the Communication Center be part of the \nWriting and Communication Program provides a clear message \u2014 that we \ndesigned this center to support our multimodal curriculum as well as to \nsupport campus-wide communication needs. We\u0027re one of the few \ncommunication centers in the country to have such a close and \narticulated relationship between the curriculum and the \ntutoring\/coaching support for that curriculum.
