Re: electronic mentoring list

Hi Leslie,
I have a favor to ask of your group.  A fellow worker of mine, who has been
a productive worker despite his cerebral palsy condition, fell and broke his
hip last week.  He will be laid up for many months and without a terminal
hookup!  Could you please circulate this note around and ask people if they
could just take a minute out of their life to send a hardcopy get well card
to:

Charles Phelan
Northland Terrace
5700 Karl Road, Room 507
Columbus, Ohio 43229

I think it would cheer him up to see that we computer people are not
uncaring nerds stuck in front of a terminal because we have no social
skills, but that we can even have good thoughts for a stranger trying to
make his way in this world.  Thanks in advance to all you BGSU crew.

Hi everyone,

My name is Leslie Gasser, and I am the STC student chapter president at
Bowling
Green State University.  We have a couple of new projects planned for the
upcoming school year, and one of them includes a mentoring mailing list.
 The
welcome message explains it's purpose pretty well:

Welcome to the bgsu-stc mailing list!  The BGSU STC student chapter
has an electronic mailing list so professionals in the field of
technical communication and student and faculty chapter members have
opportunities to set up mentoring relationships.  This list is based
on the idea that working technical writers and editors in business
and industry, students and teachers can form electronic partnerships
that allow the exchange of information and support.  The chapter hopes
that by providing this platform, some of the possible benefits might
be that students can learn how to prepare themselves for the work
force, faculty can see new areas to address in the classroom, and
working writers and editors can help mold better candidates for the
job market.  This list is maintained to benefit Bowling Green State
University's STC student chapter members and their associates and
mentors in business and industry.

If you would like to participate on this list, you can send a message to

        listproc -at- listproc -dot- bgsu -dot- edu

with

        subscribe bgsu-stc Your Name

in the body of the message.  To send a message to the list, use the
following
address:

        bgsu-stc -at- listproc -dot- bgsu -dot- edu

The list is geared toward BGSU students, but I think it is the type of list
that
could really help tech comm students, faculty, and professionals everywhere.

If you have any questions, you can contact me at

Thanx for your time,

Leslie Gasser
