The Communication Center is a free resource available to JMU students and faculty. We can help you with all phases of your communication-related assignment or event. Whether you need help with a speech, research, interviewing for a job, brainstorming, speech anxiety, confidence, exams, MREST or anything else - we are here to help you. An appointment gives you the opportunity to work face to face with some of the best communication tutors in the country. We have worked with everyone from students to staff and faculty. You don't have to be in GCOM or a Communication Studies major to receive communication help.
We are located on the 1st floor of the Student Success Center (SSC 1155). Enter the center through the Learning Center entrance closest to Dunkin Donuts and make a right at the reception desk.
