Sigma Tau Delta is the International English Honor Society. A member of the Association of College Honor Societies, it was founded in 1924 at Dakota Wesleyan University. Sigma Tau Delta’s central purpose is to confer distinction upon students of the English language and literature in undergraduate, graduate and professional studies.
The English Graduate Student Association (EGSA) fosters support and professionalization among graduate students in English. In the Fall Semester, EGSA presents the English Colloquium with faculty-led panels about succeeding in the field of English and submitting literary pieces to conferences and publications. In the Spring Semester, EGSA collaborates with Sigma Tau Delta to present the English Symposium, where students present on panels showcasing their creative and scholarly work to fellow students, faculty and distinguished guests. Throughout the year, EGSA hosts casual events for graduate students to associate with one another and with faculty members, facilitating a positive community atmosphere and professional networking.
