Welcome to the Business Communication Lab
The Business Communication Lab helps Walton College students with all their written
and oral communication needs.
Who We Are
Communication is a skill employers consistently rank as one of the most important for new hires to have. Our tutors will show you how to write for a business audience, revise your work, proofread your papers, organize content, polish speeches, and edit presentations.
All Walton graduate and undergraduate students may visit the center individually or as a group - students who are taking a Walton class are also welcome to visit us. We have all the resources you need to become a better writer and speaker!
Our Mission Statement
The Walton Business Communication Lab aids students on campus and members of the community to become better communicators. Our tutors work with graduate and undergraduate students to develop, improve, and revise compositions related to writing and public speaking so that they can use professional communication skills intentionally and effectively. By collaborating with various University of Arkansas on-campus organizations and hosting workshops and lectures, we provide students with an interdisciplinary approach to business communication.
Our Diversity Statement
The Business Communication Lab strives to make business communication resources and expertise accessible to underrepresented groups through campus and community outreach. We are committed to providing services that invite people from all communities, including all ethnicities, nationalities, gender identities, abilities, social class, and religions. The Walton Business Communication Lab thereby seeks to cultivate accessibility and inclusivity through our work to develop and support students as they become business communicators.
