About Us
AY 24-25 Congratulations
Sigma Tau Delta's chapter at The College of New Jersey recognizes the same goals as those of the national organization. Our goals include distinguishing undergraduate students, graduate students, scholars in academia, and professional writers who are recognized for their accomplishments in linguistic or literary fields, promoting interest in literature and the English language on local campuses and their surrounding communities, and fostering the discipline of English in all its aspects, including creative and critical writing.
