Tech comm colleagues, Here is an item of interest from the recent edition of UTK English Major Newsletter: ENGLISH MAJOR DYLAN PLATZ RECEIVES DISTINGUISED SERVICE AWARD: On 2/20/14, at a meeting of the East Tennessee Chapter of the Society for Technical Communication (STC), English major Dylan Platz received the first-ever Distinguished Service Award for Students given to any UT student. Dylan, whose concentration is Technical Communication, is the longest-running STC Student Liaison in our history, plus the first-ever student vice president of STC-ETC. STC's distinguished service awards represent "the highest level of recognition that a member can receive for service to their community." The International Society, on average, gives this prestigious award to only a few individuals each year. —Please congratulate Dylan!
