There are many tools available to communicate inside and outside NXU. At NXU communication is important, welcomed, encouraged, and engaging. Learners should always feel comfortable reaching out to professors, teaching assistants, course facilitators, success advisors, or anyone else for help.
This establishes a foundation for effective communication both personally and professionally.
