Hatcher and Alexander win 2020 Amplification Awards

Alicia Hatcher, a current ECU English Ph.D. Student in Rhetoric, Writing, and Professional Communication, and Jamal-Jared Alexander, who graduated from ECU in 2018 with an MA in English (concentration in Technical & Professional Communication) and is now a Ph.D. student at Utah State University, have won two of the three 2020 Amplification Awards from the Association of Teachers of Technical Writing (ATTW). They will receive the awards and present their research at the ATTW conference later this month in Milwaukee. The award includes a conference registration waiver and financial assistance ($500) to help to offset the costs of their travel to ATTW 2020.

As part of ATTW’s commitment to social justice practices and increasing organizational participation and supporting research from underrepresented scholars and teachers of technical communication, ATTW offers three awards to recognize and amplify the important contributions of underrepresented students and/or non-tenure track faculty presenting at ATTW.
