TCNJ has an active chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the national honor society for students of English and related fields. Membership is available (and encouraged) for graduate students. We would like to invite you to join. A brief explanation of graduate membership is available below, but we would also like to point you to two websites: the national website and our local website where you would apply for membership. The chapter holds a number of events each year and supports events held by other constituencies in the English department.
SIGMA TAU DELTA sponsors: Felicia Jean Steele, Diane Steinberg, and Michele Tarter
