Welcome to the CCP

The Center for Communication Practices provides a forum for students to review their writing or oral presentations with trained and experienced peer consultants. Our goal is to provide students with strategies that will help them become better communicators, in the classroom and beyond.

Students from all disciplines are encouraged to bring assignments or personal projects of any type—essays or lab reports, resumes or doctoral theses, PowerPoint slides and more. Whether the work is nearly completed or still in the planning stage, we will work with the writer to take their project to the next step.

Our consultants provide writers with a fresh perspective on their work and the writer remains in control of all changes made. The CCP is not an editing or proofreading service; instead, we teach students how they can edit their own work to improve their technique as a whole, not just for one assignment.

We recommend you check out preparing for a session before coming to the CCP, so you can get the most out of what we have to offer.

"A" and "the" are articles, a part of speech that serves to provide additional information about the nouns in a sentence. Selecting the appropriate article can be tricky, particularly for multi-lingual students. More information: Article Usage
