This brief summer session will focus on general aspects of workplace communication, including communication styles and structures; navigating barriers to communication; receiving and giving directives; virtual communication; race/gender/ability inclusive and inter-generational communication; communicating boundaries and negotiation. Students will be invited to integrate their internship experiences through class discussion, experiential activities, collaborative group work, and observation journals. The goal is for students to gain an academic and experiential understanding of key concepts, which students may apply this semester and beyond.
