Welcome Back! — Spring 2022 Update

Welcome back and happy first day of Spring classes, everyone! 🎊

We have our first general body meeting of Spring this Friday at 6:00pm. We’ll have some general discussion, talk about upcoming club events, and play some games afterward too if there’s time. Click here to find the Zoom call link on our KnightConnect page.

Second update: our meetings are now going to be every week on Fridays from 6:00 – 7:00pm. We have lots of programs and guest speakers we are excited to bring to you this semester! As before, our meetings will primarily be hosted online.

Can’t wait to see you all on Friday!

December 2021 Newsletter

Hey everyone,

It’s the end of the semester already! All that’s left is finals week, and then it’s time for winter break. We at FTC hope you do great on all your exams and projects then get to enjoy a restful holiday season.

Additionally, we’d like to say congratulations to all our graduating members! You’re seen, you’re appreciated, and you should be proud of the accomplishments you’ve made to reach the finish line. Remember that even if you’ve graduated, you’ll always have a place with FTC.

This month’s newsletter will go over some club updates and news to round out the year. Last month we had two general body meetings, one on using WordPress and the other to discuss the past semester and the one ahead, and we have recaps of both for you. Beyond that, we have an update on the mentoring program for all who applied earlier in the semester. We also would like to remind you that our FTC T-Shirt Design Contest is closing tomorrow, December 3rd; there’s still time to apply by sharing your drawing or idea for a chance to win multiple prizes and to take part in some fun. Finally, next weekend we have a Dungeons & Dragons session planned, which is sure to be a great time as we segue into the break. Aside from that, look out for any miscellaneous updates from the club before school is finally out.

Thanks for reading, and we hope the information below is helpful. You can reach out to the club any time at [email protected].

All the best,

John Clement

November 2021 Newsletter

Hey everyone,

Happy November! It’s beginning to get cooler, daylight savings just passed by giving us all an extra hour of sleep, and there’s just one month left to go until the end of the semester. There’s lots of change all around and just as much to be excited for.

Speaking of things to be excited for, the club has been up to a lot lately, and there are an array of upcoming meetings, programs, and opportunities for you to look forward to. We have two general body meetings planned this month, and our FTC T-Shirt Design Contest is open for submissions until November 22. Anyone is encouraged to submit their idea for a design that could be featured on our club shirts in the future.

Read on for all the details. Thanks for being part of our community, and we hope you may find everything in this newsletter helpful!

All the best,

John Clement

Through the Generations: The Enduring Value of Technical Communication

Through the Generations: The Enduring Value of Technical Communication
Friday, March 26, 2021 at 7:00pm EST

Students preparing for a technical communication career have chosen a profession that matters. Over the years, though, the phenomenal changes in our roles have raised questions about the value that our work can and will provide. In this presentation, Lori will look at the impact of three critical areas on our roles, our profession, and our contributions.

This Friday, our general body meeting will feature a special guest with more than 25 years of experience. Listen to Lori Meyer speak about her career in technical communication and touch upon topics like user advocacy, quality and innovation, and generational identities. Don’t miss out on a professional’s expertise!

Here is the link to the Zoom meeting: https://ucf.zoom.us/j/97514670899

Networking begins at 7:00pm, and the presentation will begin at 7:15pm. Following the presentation, there will be a brief time for Q&A. Attendance is free and no RSVP is required.

We hope to see you there!
