Communication Within the Curriculum
Communication Within the Curriculum (CWiC) is Penn's public speaking program. Its mission is to help students express themselves orally with clarity and confidence.
Speaking-intensive courses give students the opportunity to hone their public-speaking skills, and the CWiC Speaking Center offers students access to trained peer speaking advisors. These advisors provide individualized coaching for students and groups working on presentations or seeking less formal speaking guidance. Students interested in becoming speaking advisors should apply for CLST 135, the training course offered each spring. Applications are due in November.
CWiC honors students with both strong research projects and superior speaking abilities by providing those students with a public forum in which to talk about their academic work. See the CWiC website for more on Emerging Scholars Talks.
