Students' communication skills can be sharpened through a communication across the curriculum program which develops community service learning (CSL) projects. Students are required to perform certain services for a nonprofit group under the CSL project. The organization itself can determine its needs or the business communications professor can suggest services which the students can do for the organization. Through the CSL project, students have the chance to put into action what they have learned in class and the organization benefits as a result of the students' work.
