Founded at Edinboro University on April 26, 1992, the Nu Theta Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) is celebrating 25 years of existence by earning regional recognition for excellence.
Edinboro’s honor society for nursing students, Nu Theta received the Showcase of Regional Excellence award for commitment to lifelong learning, courtesy of Sigma Theta Tau International Region 11 – which covers western and central Pennsylvania and western New York. The group will be recognized at the Region 11 sectional meeting this month in Indianapolis.
“This recognition shows that Edinboro University is committed to the success of both our current students and those who graduate from our program,” said Amy McClune, Ph.D., RN, associate nursing professor and Nu Theta Chapter president.
STTI recognized Edinboro’s chapter for its year-ending banquet, which was presented in collaboration with EU’s Student Nurse Organization of Edinboro (SNOE) – a student-nurse organization dedicated to professional development, student success, community service and networking.
Each spring for the past three years, Nu Theta and SNOE have hosted a banquet and workshop dedicated to the field of nursing. During the event, current information is presented and then applied by a panel of EU nursing alumni who share their nursing experiences.
Edinboro will hold an induction ceremony in the spring for incoming Nu Theta Chapter members. Students will receive their official acceptance letters for the chapter in the spring semester.
Edinboro’s rigorous nursing programs are approved by the Pennsylvania State Board of Nursing and accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education. For more information about Edinboro University’s nursing programs and the Nu Theta Chapter of STTI, visit www.edinboro.edu/nursing.
