Various segments of the show covered topics such as carpooling, public transportation, hybrid technology, and scams. The special broadcast aired during last fall's fuel price hike.

Kathy (Pringle) Jeep, 2005 MAPC graduate, took steps to get her ideas out to the profession by publishing an article based on her thesis. The article, co-authored with her committee chair, Dr. Sean Williams, appeared in the August 2005 issue of Technical Communication, the peer-reviewed journal of the Society of Technical Communication.

Titled "The Future is the Past: Has Technical Communication Arrived as a Profession?", Kathy and Sean's article has now been listed as required reading for MA students in technical writing at the University of Central Florida. This honor is recognition that the article contains important information for the profession. STC members can access the article through the publications section of the STC website at www.stc.org.
