S Center History

The Speaking and Listening Center was established to support the Oral Communication Program that was inaugurated by a vote of DePauw University’s faculty in 1992.  From the beginning it was staffed by students who completed a semester long training class. 

In 2012 DePauw University’s peer consulting program was reviewed by a National Association of Communication Centers (NACC) committee composed of a collection of communication center directors from across the nation.  DePauw’s program was "found to meet the high standards established by the NACC.  All DePauw University consultants will now be considered a part of a nationally certified tutor training program."
