January 31: We regret that we are cancelling the Symposium. We did not receive any proposals from interested parties and don’t feel it is appropriate for this to be an event emerging only out of TCNJ and the University of Maine-Farmington. At the convention, we will regroup and talk with members of our region about events that can serve the chapter development goals for the Eastern Region.

Sigma Tau Delta’s Eastern regional leadership is eager to announce the Virtual Regional Symposium Saturday, February 10, 2024! The one-day event will be held remotely through Zoom from 9am-5pm depending on the number of sessions we have. This is an open invitation for proposals regarding professional networking, community engagement, chapter engagement, publishing, or other English-related programming that would help Sigma Tau Delta chapters foster a love for literacy, service, and scholarship. Proposals should be no more than 500 words. Although the Eastern region is hosting, submissions from all regions are welcome! Submissions from both chapter members and chapter advisors are welcome. The deadline for all submissions is January 15th, 2024; you should hear a decision by January 20th. Do not hesitate to reach out to your Regent or Student Representatives with any questions.
