Our Crowdfunding Groups
UNC Charlotte is proud to be an active Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta (ΣΤΔ), The English Honor Society, which. is one of the oldest and most prestigious honor societies in the nation. We sponsor social, intellectual, and scholarly activities on campus throughout the year. For the last six years, our chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, which now in its 4ist 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, 6 students from UNC Charlotte will present at this year's centennial Sigma Tau Delta conference held in Pittsburgh. 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.
Still, it will take additional resources to send all 6 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 registration, travel, and accommodations and may support future students if the trip is fully funded.

Shakespeare wrote 154, Petrarch about 317. Help students read them all... and write one or two as well. "Not marble nor the gilded monuments Of princes, shall outlive these powerful rhymes."
“Write what should not be forgotten.”-- Isabel Allende. Fiction is, as readers know, always an appeal to "truth." Jane Austen adds, perhaps a little harshly, "The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” Let's create novel (and smart) ideas together!
John Milton wrote "The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven.” Elizabeth Barrett Browning reminds us that "A cheerful genius suits the times, /And all true poets laugh unquenchably." Make an "epic" donation and enjoy unquenchable laughter and heavenly thoughts.
