Mentor Program Kickoff

November 17, 2025 - 6:00-7:00pm (CST) - via Zoom
Now in its 8th year, the mentor program connects students with professionals in diverse technical communication roles and organizations. In this relatively informal program, mentors and mentees meet two times through the Writing Studies Department and two times on their own to discuss the topics of their choosing (guidance is provided). Students are responsible for coordinating the time and date of mentor meetings. The kickoff meeting is held virtually. 

TCAB Student Workshop

February 3,2026 - 5:00-6:30pm (CST) - In person
New this year, and upon student request, we will facilitate a workshop that includes TCAB members to answer student questions about career exploration, skill development, and the job market. This is a great opportunity for current students to learn more about, and prepare for, diverse careers in technical communication. 

TCAB Roundtable

February 24, 2026 - 5:00-6:30pm (CST) - In person
Each year TCAB meets with the Writing Studies Faculty to discuss the future of the various programs in the Department of Writing Studies. The Roundtable offers a valuable opportunity for rich discussion about our technical communication curriculum offerings and ways to best prepare tomorrow’s professionals. In past years, these discussions have led to meaningful changes that directly impact our current and future students. 

Mentor Program Closing Event

March 30, 2026 - 6:00-7:00pm (CST) - via Zoom
We will have a virtual gathering of participants in the Mentor Program to share insights with one another and to thank everyone for participating.
