Sigma Tau Delta – Alpha Epsilon Rho, the UDC chapter of the International English Honor Society, has been an active chapter since 1995. We have held monthly activities, such as alumni panels, poetry readings, film screenings, and holiday events, and support local non-profit organizations in literary arts gift drives for homeless families and essay competitions for DC students. When the campus is open, we support a Sigma Tau Delta “Give a Book – Get a Book” Free Library in the Student Center and in the Caring Corner on the 4th floor of Building 71. A photo display of past Sigma Tau Delta inductions dating back to 1995 is currently on display in Event Space 8 (“The Point”), also on the 4th floor of Building 71. For more information, contact the Faculty Sponsor Dr. Helene Krauthamer, hkrauthamer@udc.edu
The Sigma Tau Delta English Club is open to all UDC students. We sponsor literary events and activities on and off campus and welcome your participation. Our events are both in-person and virtual. Check here to see our calendar of events.
