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 St. Louis. 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.

Please make a gift today--of any size--to help us be able to have this experience in vibrant PITTSBURGH. Every donation counts!

Novel Ideas

“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!
