Cuny  \nUniversity of North Carolina, Greensboro  \nRationale  \nDwyer and Davidson’s 2012 research traces the genesis and transformation of the story behind myths about Americans’ greatest fears. The story starts with research, publicized in a 1973 London Times article, which essentially unmasked an almost mythic tale about public speaking being Americans’worst fear. Dwyer and Davidson were able to replicate the original study  \nafter altering the questions to focus on college students facing the start of a public speaking course. They found that “students selected death as their top fear most often, followed by public speaking, and then financial problems. So, is public speaking not really the number one fear? It is the most common fear, selected by students more often than other fears. However, it is not the top rated fear, death is”(Dwyer & Davidson, 2012, p. 107) . Not surprisingly, public  \nspeaking college faculty experience the effects of this speaking fear when student-speakers give presentations in their classes. This is what serves as our motivation to look further into the role communication centers might have in supporting the management of public speaking anxiety  \n(PSA). Students, faculty, and staff working at communication centers are well positioned to aid speakers with PSA through critical intervention (Yook, 2006) .  \nPublic speaking and basic communication course textbooks already cover the stage fright associated with public speaking in ways that suggest strategies for success. For example, O’Hair, Rubinstein, and Stewart (2013) suggest that, for student speakers to manage their anxiety, they can try modifying thoughts and attitudes, visualizing success, and relaxing.  \nUnlike most introduction to communication textbooks, Schwartzman (2010) cites more research studies when he lists strategies for success. His list includes harnessing nervousness, habituation and immersion, cognitive restructuring, systematic desensitization in incremental approaches, positive visualization, and controlling your presentation conditions. While nearly all of the strategies listed in both books are rooted in research findings, not every technique for managing or reducing PSA will work for everyone.  \nCommunication centers in higher education are the learning spaces where studentspeakers seek support as they work on oral communication class assignments. In these centers, we face PSA issues regularly. Communication centers function as safe and judgment free learning spaces where speakers enter into dialogue with a peer educator who has been trained to facilitate center specific forms of critical pedagogy. Peer educators at communication centers never co-create speakers’work products but rather they offer guidance and feedback, and at some centers they also offer supplemental instruction. At the start of a session, speakers and consultants first work to identify goals for the peer-to-peer consultation. Together the two discuss the assignment, look at or listen to the speaker’s work product, or talk about any other related issue that the speaker brings up.  \nAt the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, as we engaged in meaningful dialogue with speakers about the multimodality of their oral communication acts, we  \nspeculated about the anxiety that speakers bring with them into our consultation rooms: “As one would expect there is public speaking anxiety, especially if the speaker is going to stand up and practice their [sic] speech with us. With help from our consultants that were recruited from the pool of speakers we worked with previously, we also identified the uncertainty of what is to come during the pending consultation as a source of anxiety”(Zakia & Cuny, 2013) .
