April 2003
For our last meeting of the 2002-2003 school year, we
held a joint meeting with the Southwest Ohio Chapter
of STC. The speaker, Pam Gewin, lead a discussion on
"what it takes to get to the interview." Gewin
works as a technical recruiter for ResovIT Resources
of Cincinnati.
Before the discussion, students had the opportunity
(like at all SWO-STC meetings) to network with professional
technical communicators from the Cincinnati area and
the Dayton area. Our members were able to pass out their
business cards they created during March's meeting.
This is the best way to find out about what's going
on in the world of technical communication and also
one of the best ways to go about finding an internship
or a job.

March 2003
Michele Simmons made a guest appearance at the month's
meeting. She gave a short presentation on how to use
effective design principles when creating a business
card. Following her presentation, BATSCs and MTSCs were
given the opportunity to create their own business cards
for use at the upcoming meeting in April.

2003
Our speakers, Mike Haap and Gerald Cook, shared the
details of their particular positions and gave great
advice for interviewing and improving your "skill
sets," no matter if you are looking for a job or
have been working for several years.

Bowl-Out!
We had a great time bowling the Friday before Thanksgiving
Break. We bowled, ate FREE pizza, got to watch some
real bowlers in the lane next to us, and tried to figure
out a digital camera (we're supposed to understand these
technical things aren't we?).
We will be bowling again next year before Thanksgiving
break for sure (maybe even in the Spring if we run out
of other meeting ideas).

October 2002
In October, 15 members of MU-STC (which is you,
if you are a BATSC or MTSC major) traveled to the
Hamiltonion Hotel (Hamilton, Ohio) to take part in Southwest
Ohio-STC's monthly meeting.
The evening included a networking session, which our
members found very interesting and informative. Following
the networking was dinner (a most important aspect of
the evening). Following dinner, the guest speaker spoke
on the evening's topic of A Visual Approach
to Aligning Communications & Training Initiatives
to Strategy. Everyone there received a great
overview and demonstration of how this company uses
Microsoft Visio to get the point across to clients.

September 2002
September's meeting was a simple get together at Pedro's
(Uptown). We, the officers, wanted to hear from you,
our members, about what you would like us to do this
year for you.
We received many ideas. Many people we found are interested
in hearing from professional technical communicators
about what he or she does in the industry. Along with
this, people would like to see demonstration nights
that showed real-life uses for projects done in class.
Having seen how something can be used in the "real
world" can be very motivating.
We'll see what we can do!
