By Thomas Barker, Manager, STC Academic Community, and Hillary Hart, Chair, Academic-Industry Collaborations
For STC to remain a strong organization supportive of all its members, academics and industry/government practitioners must collaborate and pool resources. Important initiatives, such as a possible body-of-knowledge project, would require the cooperation of both groups. As the Society adjusts to the realities of a global marketplace and to an expanded definition of technical writer as technical communicator, what time is better than the present for leading academics and practitioners to discuss ways of strengthening STC?
