Bookmark and Share

The Society encourages qualified students to apply for membership in its honorary societies, Sigma Tau Chi and Alpha Sigma.

Sigma Tau Chi

This recognizes students enrolled in a baccalaureate or graduate technical communication program who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or above, are exemplary in STC participation, and demonstrate a potential for significant contributions to the profession.

Alpha Sigma

This recognizes students enrolled in two-year and certificate technical communication programs who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or above, demonstrate active participation in STC, and have the potential to contribute to the profession.

Details and applications will be sent to all directors of academic technical communication programs, Society directors, and advisors of student STC chapters in early September. If you meet these qualifications or know of a student who does, please request an application from one of these contacts. The application material is also available on the STC website at www.stc.org/recog/awards01_STX-AS.asp. Students who are accepted into Sigma Tau Chi or Alpha Sigma receive one year’s membership in STC, a pin, and a t-shirt. The STC Board of Directors will notify the selected students after its January meeting.

Completed application forms and supporting documents should be e-mailed as attached Word or PDF files to David Dayton no later than November 1. By the same deadline, an official transcript must be mailed directly from the applicant’s school to this address:
