The Noel Studio integrates support for writing, speaking, research, and multimodal communication. We help EKU students develop effective communication skills by promoting critical and creative thinking through peer-to-peer meetings called consultations.  During a consultation, you will work with a Noel Studio consultant who is trained to provide objective, productive feedback on a variety of communication products, including presentations, essays, research posters, visual aids, and more.

Depending on your needs, consultation goals might include:

• Choosing a topic and organizing thoughts and ideas.
• Researching, drafting, and revising.
• Improving grammar, punctuation, and clarity.
• Drafting an effective thesis statement and developing persuasive appeals.
• Arranging effective collaboration and group dynamics in presentations.
• Citing sources properly according to MLA, APA, or CMS.
• Developing effective speech communication practices.
• Asking questions and thinking critically and creatively about a topic or writing/communication assignment.
• Understanding media options and uses.
