TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The Jay R. Gould Award honors the distinguished
teaching career of Professor Gould whose academic
mentorship of technical communication students guided
many men and women into our profession.
The award honors excellence in teaching that becomes
true academic mentorship: the personal and professional
concern that an excellent teacher extends to a student
beyond the demands of the classroom, beyond, even, the
student's graduation and into that former student's
professional career.
The 1997 recipients of the Jay R. Gould Award were Sandra Harner of
Cedarville College in Ohio, Katherine Staples of Austin Community
College in Texas, and Thomas Warren of Oklahoma State University
To be eligible for the award, a nominee must have been a member of the
Society for Technical Communication for ten years and must have been

Nominees who have received other STC recognition (such as Associate

Gould Award. Current STC Board Members and members of the nominating
committee are not eligible.
If you are not certain about the eligibility of your nominee, go ahead
