The Academic Community supports the professional responsibilities of STC members worldwide who work as educators and researchers in colleges and universities. Those responsibilities involve areas of curriculum design, current practices in technical communication, research and research funding, and academic workplace, recruitment, and professional issues.

The Academic Community actively seeks support opportunities in existing initiatives—mentoring, research, conference attendance, publication—in education and research in the field of technical communication, especially those in other professional organizations, that involve the productive interaction of practitioners and academics.

“People who understand what you do, and who try to help you do it.” -Cindy Pao
