Our consultants' commitment to one another, to our peers, and to our community is to:

  • Act in a way that promotes trust.
  • Hold each other accountable.
  • Serve one another with respect.
  • Engage the whole person.
  • Cultivate an inclusive and safe space.

  • Respect the rights and confidentiality of every student and consultation.

Through these standards, we can all act in good faith as ambassadors of the Marian University Media Center.

The Media Center/Speaking Studio Syllabus Policy

Harness your strengths with a one-on-one consultation at the Marian University Speaking Studio (Clare Hall 018). No matter your stage of the speech-making process (topic selection, research, organizing, outlining, or delivery), our studio has the resources for you. In addition to assisting with speeches and individual/group presentations, we’re also here to support you with public speaking anxiety. You can meet with a student consultant by appointment or during walk-in hours Monday through Friday. You can also schedule an online appointment Monday through Friday or Sunday afternoon. For details, view our Centers & Programs page. The speaking studio is part of the Media Center (lowest level of Clare Hall); check out our website for details on the ways we can help you with podcasting, film, or design projects through our media lab, a podcast room, film studio, and other resources.
