Sigma Tau Delta
The English Department invites its students to become a member of Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honor Society. Sigma Tau Delta offers a friendly environment for English students to explore the subject in greater depth, arrange literary events, participate in community service, and revel in their enthusiasm for all aspects of English language and literature.
Learn more about the society’s benefits on the Sigma Tau Delta Membership Benefits page. For additional information, please contact Amy Green at greena@unlv.nevada.edu.
