Description
This 2021 article was published in the journal Communications Teacher. First-year students at many universities find themselves in new communities, with little understanding of how their new university, city, academic, or career communities function. Excerpt: "Developing a student’s sense of community can have long-term benefits. As Tinto (n.d., pp. 9 10) points out, ‘‘Membership in the community of the classroom provides important linkages to membership in communities external to the classroom. For new students in particular, engagement in the community of the classroom becomes a gateway for subsequent involvement in the academic and social communities of the college generally.’’ Using the theme of ‘‘Community’’ in the basic public speaking course provides students with opportunities to directly explore many communities in their informative, persuasive, and group presentations."
