Our Crowdfunding Groups
The English Honor Society, Sigma Tau Delta (ΣΤΔ), one of the oldest and most prestigious honor societies in the nation. It sponsors social, intellectual, and scholarly activities on campus throughout the year. For the last three years, our chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, which is celebrating its 40th year, has been able to send students to the national convention, where students present papers, participate in roundtables, or read their creative work.
This year, 5 students from UNC Charlotte will present at this year's Sigma Tau Delta conference held in Denver. Their projects range from literary criticism to creative writing endeavors.
Our officers have been organizing many exciting literary events on campus to engage students and create a community within the Sigma Tau Delta society. One of these events involves a bake sale combined with a mystery book sale to fundraise for the conference. To celebrate "Black History Month," the students have organized the showing of two movies, Moonlight and Nope, which will both be introduced by a faculty member.
Still, it will take additional resources to send all 5 participants to the convention. For that reason, Sigma Tau Delta is crowdfunding this spring to raise awareness and support of our trip to the conference. Funding will help cover the costs for these 5 students’ registration, travel, and accommodations and may support future students if the trip is fully funded.
