In this episode, we talk with undergraduate writing consultants Katie Barton and Kelsie Weingart about their experiences supporting writers in the Howe Center for Business Writing (HCBW). They share what it’s like to work with business students on everything from presentations to team writing—especially through fast-paced, focused appointments—and how consulting in the HCBW’s recently revamped space shapes their approach and offerings for business and professional writers. They also reflect on how consulting has strengthened their own professional communication, offering insight into the skills they’ll carry forward into their diverse career paths.
