Jay R. Gould Award Winners

The Jay R. Gould Award for Excellence in Teaching Technical Communication honors the distinguished teaching career of the late Professor Gould. His academic mentorship guided many into the technical communication profession. The Gould award honors excellence in teaching that becomes true academic mentorship: the personal and professional concern that the best teachers extend to their students beyond the classroom. This mentorship continues beyond graduation as former students grow throughout their professional careers.

To be eligible for the award, a nominee must have been a member of the Society for Technical Communication for at least ten years and must have been involved in postsecondary education for at least fifteen years.
