A Visit with Johndan Johnson-Eilola

STC Arts members Nick Rosencrans and Laura Michaletz share a pizza with Johndan Johnson-Eilola, author of:

Nostalgic Angels: Rearticulating Hypertext Writing

Datacloud: Toward a New Theory of Online Work (and a blog by the same name)

Co-editor of the award-winning Central Works in Technical Communication

Co-author of Writing New Media
Theory and Applications for Expanding the Teaching of Composition

Johndan is in town visiting and shared his memories of being an STC undergrad, the first RTC graduate student @ MTU, and his recent work in usability studies with STC Arts team members.

IEEE Award for Advisor

The MTU IEEE Student Chapter awarded STC Arts advisor Michael Moore a 2006-06 High Performance Service Award: "IEEE members were asked to chose professors/lecturers who had made the biggest difference in their academic careers here at Tech. Those teachers who inspired our intellect, commanded our respect and above all made us feel good about learning our challenging discipline of Electrical and Computer Engineering."
