Welcome to the Frank Business Communication Center!

Summer 2026 Hours:

We are not offering regular tutoring appointments this summer. If you would like feedback on a project, please contact Kristin (kristin-ho@uiowa.edu) for options.

Fall 2026 Hours:

10am-5pm Monday-Thursday and 10am-4pm Friday.

August 31 - December 11, 2026

We are closed on weekends, holidays, and over Thanksgiving Break.

What We Do:

Our tutors offer support for writing, speaking, and slide/visual design tasks. We are not content tutors (see Additional Resources below). If you are a Tippie student, we can help you with any assignment or task, no matter the course. If you are not a Tippie student, we can help you with assignments for your business classes.

New this semester! This fall, we are piloting asynchronous document review. If you choose a Document Review Slot, you will upload your project draft (max: 2-3 pages) to the appointment slot and a Frank Center tutor will provide written feedback within 3 business days (e.g. upload draft Monday morning, receive feedback by Wednesday evening). As this is a pilot project, spots are limited.

Make an Appointment:

To get started, create or log in to your account and choose your appointment time. Appointment modality (in-person or online) is indicated by each tutor's name. Please note that some tutors are online only on certain days.

How to Find Us:

The Frank Center is located in C346 and C348 on the third floor of the Pappajohn Business Building. You can get there via the BizHub, or come up the central stairs from the Howe Galleria. Whichever direction you come from, there will be a sign with our name indicating you're in the right place.

If you book an online appointment, open your scheduled appointment and click "Start or Join Online Consultation." It may take 5-10 minutes for this link to update. If you have problems accessing the online platform, email your tutor.

Tips for a Successful Visit:

Book at least a couple days in advance of your deadline.
Arrive on time and be ready to dive in.
Come with specific goals in mind.
Share your assignment sheet and rubric ahead of time, or have these ready to show the tutor at the start of your appointment.

Stay up to date on Frank Center goings-on!

We look forward to working with you!
