The Society for Technical Communication, the largest professional organization in the field of technical communication, has selected ECU English professor Kirk St. Amant to receive the society’s Ken Rainey Award for Excellence in Research for 2015.

The award recognizes research that has made positive, significant contributions to the field of technical communication. The awards committee identified St. Amant’s “focused, original, and significant research program that has yielded a superb publication record and a well-deserved national and international reputation in the field” as key criteria for selecting him for this distinction.

The award will be presented in June at the STC’s 62nd Summit (annual conference) to take place in Columbus, Ohio.
