Our Mission
At the heart of CommLabASU, we cultivate the voices of 21st century citizens. We help each learner discover their unique communication style and develop the confidence to reach their full potential in an ever-changing world. We encourage our diverse community of learners to transform and expand their traditional understanding of communication, workforce preparation, and public speaking through engaged service and experiential learning. We do so through dynamic applications gleaned from theory and research in communication studies. Our welcoming, friendly, and professional environment reflects our commitment to the assessment and improvement of durable skills and authentic community engagement.
Our People
All members of CommLabASU are committed to the ethical and professional service of others. We contribute to the greater philosophy of Arizona State University by creating an inclusive environment throughout our organization. We ask each person associated with CommLabASU to stretch their abilities and develop leadership capacity. We support every member of CommLabASU in professional and academic achievement with a focus on building a sustainable ensemble of dedicated communication professionals.
Our Process
Our professional model of mentoring and delivering authenticity at scale fosters relationship-rich support of our CommLabASU community. We are committed to developing instruction and research that is responsive to contemporary audiences, technology, and work environments while honoring the interdisciplinary lessons of rhetoric, civil discourse, and positive communication.
Our Promise
We believe that every person has something to say. We promise to meet learners where they are, regardless of education, prior life experience, culture, or background. We will use CommLabASU’s resources and work-integrated opportunities to encourage effective approaches to human communication in culturally aware, open, and sensitive ways to positively impact learners and support ASU’s overall commitment to inclusion. We are dedicated to igniting voices and inspiring tomorrow’s advocates, leaders, and citizens.
