Experience
Two

different office cultures

Center for Global Education
Many students work in the office and come in for
writing help
There are cubicles in the center, which facilitate
communication between employees
This creates a more relaxed atmosphere with a
lot of movement
Dress is more casual

Experience
Communications

Department
Mostly professionals work in the office with a few
interns
People tend to stay in the offices during work
time and do not chat as much
More professional atmosphere with a large work
load
