ABSTRACT This article reports the results of a survey of technical and professional communication (TPC) undergraduate and graduate students regarding their perceptions of diversity in TPC academic programs. The responses of the total group of respondents and a subset of respondents identifying as a person of color (POC) are compared. Results show that both the overall group and the group of students identifying as persons of color see their TPC programs as both diverse and supportive of diversity. Respondents identifying as a person of color also reported that they were not worried about fitting in when enrolling in their TPC programs. However, the survey also shows that TPC students who identify as persons of color note a lack of students and faculty of color in TPC academic programs and departments. Possible reasons for respondents’ perceptions of having diverse and supportive departments while also observing the lack of POC within the department are discussed.

学生对技术和专业传播学术课程多样性的看法

摘要 本文报告了对技术和专业交流 (TPC) 本科生和研究生的调查结果，这些调查涉及他们对 TPC 学术课程多样性的看法。比较整个受访者组和被识别为有色人种 (POC) 的一部分受访者的回答。结果表明，整个群体和被认定为有色人种的学生群体都认为他们的 TPC 计划既多元化又支持多元化。被认定为有色人种的受访者还报告说，他们在参加 TPC 计划时并不担心融入。然而，调查还显示，被认定为有色人种的 TPC 学生注意到 TPC 学术课程和部门中缺乏有色人种的学生和教师。
