Professional Communication

Professional communication refers to the various forms of speaking, writing, and responding in and out of the classroom whether virtually or in person. Here are some tips we recommend:

• When addressing someone via email, you should include their salutation, a body, and signature line. For example some professors’ prefer to be called ‘Dr.’ or ‘Professor’.
• When communicating via Zoom, always be present and try to avoid distracting backgrounds if possible.
• Identify personal and preferred titles and contexts for how to address your faculty, staff, and administrators.
