<br>
There’s still time for faculty and graduate students to submit videos for the Tech Comm Examples series on
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/@morethanmemos">More Than Memos</a>. It’s busy time of the semester for us all, and we hope that this gives everyone more time to participate. The new deadline will be
<b>next Friday, May 10<sup>th</sup> </b>by the end of the day. <br>

of example of technical communication that gets you and (potentially) your students excited about tech comm. We’re hoping for examples that are important, strange, fun, joyous, or odd — the kind of examples that get people interested in working with these
genres.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li style="color:black;margin-top:0in;margin-bottom:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1;vertical-align:baseline">
