At its September meeting, STC's board of directors voted to expand the student membership category under the new membership model. Student members will still receive online access to Intercom and Technical Communication (not paper copies) and will be unable to vote in STC elections. However, they will now be able to join an unlimited number of SIGs and up to two chapters (one student and one professional) at no cost. Students may join additional chapters at a cost of $10 per chapter.
These additional benefits will allow students to better understand the practice of technical communication, learn networking skills, and appreciate the value of a professional community. By investing in our students, we also invest in the futures of STC and the profession.
An article on the new membership categories, including these latest changes, will appear in the November 2004 issue of Intercom. If you have any questions regarding the new membership categories, please contact the Transformation Committee at transform@stc.org
