January 2020
Let’s start the new year with a special PSU Tech Meetup. On Wed. Jan. 15 we have the opportunity to hear about the fascinating research and courses offered by PSU Communication faculty, Dr. Brianne Suldovsky. Her area of research is science communication and she is currently teaching a course in risk communication, which several MTPW students are enrolled in. She also teaches courses in science communication, an area that many technical communicators are interested in.
November 2018
In November, the PSU Technical and Professional writing meetup hosted a special guest, Carrie Gilbert, who talked about UX design, user experience and technical communication.
October 2018
This will be a special joint meetup with two other groups in town: Write the Docs and Support Driven. This will be a great chance to network outside of the PSU Community.
The program, “A Day in the Life…” promises to be fascinating. Six members of these three meetups will be documenting in video and photos what they do at work all day to share with us on Oct. 16. This will be a chance to get an inside look at technical communication and related jobs across multiple industries and companies in Portland.
