Ascent

Ascent is the newsletter of the STC Intermountain Chapter. In it you'll find news, tips, events, stories, studies, articles, reviews, and more. Learn what's new, what's hot, and what's happening in technical communication in the intermountain region.

The newsletter committee is currently accepting submissions for the Spring issue of the newsletter. If you have ideas, tips, events, stories, studies, articles, or reviews you'd like to share, or if you'd just like to let the editor know what you'd like to see in the newsletter, contact Susan McLain (info@thewritingway.com).
