The Society for Technical Communication (STC) Atlanta chapter has awarded its fourth annual David C. Leonard Scholarship for Technical Communication to Amy Griswold of Mercer University. Griswold was recognized at the Atlanta chapter's awards banquet on April 19, where she received a $500 check and a plaque commemorating the scholarship. Her parents, Mr. & Mrs. Alan Griswold of Warner Robins, were present. She will complete her undergraduate degree in technical communication at the Mercer University School of Engineering in May, and wants to focus her career in the usability and instructional design fields.

The scholarship was established to honor Dr. David C. Leonard, a long-time educator and member of the Atlanta chapter. It provides an annual award to a student from or residing in the state of Georgia who is studying technical communication.
