A 2010 survey of employers by the National Association of Colleges and Employers ranked COMMUNICATION SKILLS as the #1 attribute they seek in potential employees.  Communication competency is critical to achieving excellence.  Even presidential candidates and top CEOs routinely participate in training to improve their communication ability.  Students in any field of study will benefit from taking courses in this field and/or participating in departmental activities and organizations.
