Mika Stepankiw, MSTC alumni Mika Stepankiw
2011 Graduate
Senior Director of Development Communications

Each course in this program provided invaluable experience, helping to establish a solid foundation in the mechanics and theory of technical communications that has real-world value. Furthermore, it has opened the doors to opportunities I would not have had otherwise, advancing my career and getting me to where I am today.

Eric Roberson
2014 Graduate
Information Security Manager

Without a doubt, technical writing is my superpower which distinguishes me from my peers in IT. In fact, I’m often sought by colleagues and friends for help with technical writing and visual design because of the expertise I gained from both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in technical communication from UHD.

Associate Vice President
of Community Belonging and Global Engagement / Chief Diversity Officer.

The MSTC program led me to positions and professions that opened the doors to my career and interest in higher education. It provided the writing and research skills I used to attain a second master's, and now as I work toward a doctorate. I had great and knowledgeable professors, and I keep in contact with a number of them. They have been helpful in my career and in my pursuit of other dreams.
