description <p>This article considers how SoTL practitioners have addressed three types of audiences: personal, administrative, and discipline-based. The analysis draws on narrative data from a collaborative SoTL project at a community college. The findings are discussed in relation to broader trends across institutions and disciplines.

Five strategies are offered to help SoTL practitioners communicate effectively with audiences outside of their professional area.</p>
