With the popularity of the November/December Intercom issue on “legends of technical communication,” guest edited by Nicky Bleiel, I am pleased to publish another set of interviews of cutting-edge professionals within the field. Dr. George Hayhoe has guest edited the June issue with six articles written by students of Mercer University based on interviews they submitted for a class project on the history of technical communication.
Dr. Hayhoe is Professor Emeritus at Mercer University School of Engineering, the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE’s Transactions on Professional Communication, and Fellow of both STC and of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
I want to thank Dr. Hayhoe and all the student authors of articles in this issue, as well as their interviewees, for their work and excellent contributions to Intercom. With STC’s 65th anniversary upcoming in the 2018 membership season, I hope the issue will inspire and motivate technical communicators for the next 65 years.
