2022 class of STC Associate Fellow:

Associate Fellow is one of the three honorary ranks in the Society. The standard for an STC Associate Fellow is a high one. Recipients must be an STC Senior Member and active in the field of technical communication for at least 15 years. Most importantly, Associate Fellows are responsible for important original professional work in the field. They make notable intellectual contributions to the advancement of technical communication, and significant contributions to the Society.

Associate Fellows hold multiple leadership positions in professional organizations or their workplaces; they often have published papers, or written articles or books, in addition to giving dozens of presentations, and mentoring those who are new to the field.

Lisa Melonçon
For continuous commitment to education in technical communication that highlights a research-based, field-wide perspective and to maintaining a connection between academics and practitioners.

 

The complete list of requirements for this honor can be found on the Associate Fellows page. For a complete list of all honorees who have achieved this milestone, see the Historical List of STC Associate Fellows.

The STC Board thanks the Associate Fellows committee – Rachel Houghton (Chair), Mollye Barrett, Jack Molisani, Michael Opsteegh, Jamye Sagan, and Timothy Esposito – for their work this year.
