Noun
1. writes well with others.
You won't find this definition in any dictionary but it ranks in first place at the Hanson CTC. If you're embarking on a team report or proposal, you'll appreciate our latest handouts, both written by teams of Hanson CTC peer consultants: "Team Writing and Why the First Draft Is Crucial" by P. Gassmann and A. Hoppe and "How to Solve Common Team Writing Problems" by R. Narayan and L. Johnson.

Toastmasters
For engineers, strong public speaking skills are essential. Iowa City's local chapter of Toastmasters offers a community of business and academic professionals with the same goal of achieving greater ease and confidence as public speakers. You can learn more at http://district19.us/affirmationists/
or by emailing rdudgeon@engineering.uiowa.edu.
