Mission Statement

Oral communication competency is a much sought after, crucial, and admired skill in educated persons. Oral communication skills are usually central to a person鈥檚 success in most, if not all, fields. To that end, 麻豆传媒映画出品 (WSU) requires virtually all students to successfully complete Communication 111-Public Speaking as part of their General Education Program. The Public Speaking Lab was created in 2016 to provide additional assistance to students beyond what is available in the classroom or from their instructor during office hours. Students from throughout WSU are also invited to use the PSL as needs dictate. Services are available to anyone on campus.
