Students Today, Leaders Tomorrow An episode at STC's 49th Annual Conference proved that STC's programmes really do make a difference. It was the crowd at Leadership Day that inspired Sandra W. Harner, assistant to the president for academic and research programmes, to do something a little different. At the event preceding the conference, Sandi recognised Mary Jo Stark, the current Society treasurer, who had been a Sigma Tau Chi (STX) member when Sandi had run the programme. As Sandi continued to scan the attendees, she noticed several more former STX members. Looking at them, Sandi thought, "You've come a long way." The STX programme was established to identify and support undergraduate and graduate technical communication students who will contribute to the profession. At Leadership Day, Sandi saw the results of that programme—today's leaders—developing STC's direction and growth. At the Student Welcome Reception that evening, she asked Andrea Ames (Society second vice president), Jennifer L. Giordano (Central Ohio chapter president), Kenneth M. Kittle (Southeastern Michigan chapter), Jessica E. Larcom (Central Ohio chapter), Martha K. Sippel (Rocky Mountain chapter president), Mary Jo Stark (Society treasurer), and all former STX members, to stand before the group. As the leaders rose in succession, Sandi read a list of their Society and professional achievements from their membership in STX to their current leadership position. The leaders' successes encouraged students and illustrated a thriving and rewarding environment for dedicated professionals. They also embodied STC's mission: to design the future of technical communication. "It was so cool," said Sandi, "to see that Sigma Tau Chi is a programme that works. It was really inspiring." For more information about STX and Alpha Sigma, STC's honorary fraternity for two-year colleges, visit the Society Web site. Applications for both fraternities must be received at the following address by November 1, 2002: Elizabeth
