STC (Society for Technical Communication) is excited to announce the
establishment of a new award: the Ken Rainey Award for Excellence in Research.
This award honors the late Ken Rainey, professor at Southern Polytechnic
University, for the significant contributions he made to research that
contributed positively to practice in our field. The aim of the award is to
continue Ken's legacy by encouraging and rewarding high quality research in
technical communication.
To qualify for the award a researcher needs to demonstrate either a lifetime of
quality research or a significant study or set of studies that has made a
significant contribution to the field of technical communication.
Please consider nominating yourself or another researcher for this year's award
(2006-2007), to be given at the STC annual conference in Minneapolis in May
2007. Guidelines are attached.
