In October 2003, the Department of Extension and Experiment Station Communications (EESC) began evaluating options for delivering communications training information previously offered in the "Communicate!" newsletter. You can continue to use the tips and techniques for improving your communication skills provided in previous issues of the newsletter by reviewing the Archives. The articles cover topics such as writing, public speaking, photography, videography, desktop and electronic publishing, radio, satellite teleconferencing, streaming video, marketing, multimedia, Web writing, and Web design. If you have questions or suggestions about communications training, please e-mail Bob Rost.

We will continue to update the "Status Report," a listing of publications and videos available in the Corvallis warehouse and/or on the EESC Web site (eesc.oregonstate.edu). If you have questions or suggestions about the listing, please e-mail Evie Engel.
