The Helen M. Loeb Memorial Scholarship was established in 1986 by the Society for Technical Communication, Boston Chapter, and by Dr. Loeb's friends and students. Dr. Loeb founded the technical writing programs at Northeastern and was instrumental in establishing technical communications as a discipline of study, including its own body of research and scholarship. The strong ties she made between industry and the University continue and are strengthened by this jointly sponsored scholarship. Awarded solely for merit, it is given each year to the student in the graduate technical writing programs showing the most potential as a technical communicator.
The recipient is selected by the Executive Board of the Society for Technical Communication and the Coordinator of Technical and Professional Writing Programs at Northeastern.
