Register Today for Course in Fundamentals of Technical Communication
The NIU-STC Institute for Professional Development has announced its Spring 2009 schedule. Register today for "Fundamentals of Technical Communication."
Although this course is designed for people with little or no experience in the field, it often enrolls a wide range of participants, including workplace professionals. The course consists of seven Saturday workshops (9:00 am - 4:00 pm), each taught by an expert in the workshop topic. Participants also work with a mentor who is experienced in technical communication. Participants earn three hours of undergraduate or graduate credit through Northern Illinois University.
The course professor will be Jessica Reyman, Assistant Professor of rhetoric and professional writing at NIU and Managing Director of the NIU-STC Institute for Professional Development.

December 2008 At-a-Glance Photo Contest
This month's mystery photo features cherubs on the decorative façade of a popular 1896 Loop building. Name the building and the famous Chicago architect who built it, and you could win this month's prize! A difficult assignment, you say? Okay then, the decorative terra cotta design reveals a clue. Are those aquatic creatures you see alongside the cherubs? (Remember, this is the clue. You still have to come up with the name of the building and identify the architect to win!) Good luck!
The first person to email contest@stc-chicago.org with the correct answer will a $20 gift certificate from Amazon.com. Contestants are eligible to win only one prize within any one 12-month period. We will notify the winner via email and post the winner's name on our website. The correct answer will be posted on our blog. |
