English Honor Society Sigma Tau Delta: New Leaders Plan for the Year

Sigma Tau Delta recently elected sophomore Creative Writing and English major Rachel Barkley to serve as Co-President alongside junior English and Creative Writing major Sara Ludwig. Both leaders were asked to share Sigma Tau Delta's upcoming activities, as well as plans for the year.

Sigma Tau Delta has a lot of plans which we are both very excited about! This fall, in addition to monthly open mic nights, we also plan to do a number of different activities. Sigma Tau Delta will be hosting a writing workshop for local Girl Scouts. This is a great opportunity to connect to the surrounding community and help share our passion for writing with others. We also plan to have a booth on October 22nd celebrating National Writing Day. This will allow fellow students to share with the campus why they love to write. Sigma Tau Delta is also working on expanding the Ashland English Department’s social media presence!

In the spring there will be a lot of exciting opportunities which are still being planned. Sigma Tau Delta plans to renovate the Bixler study lounge as soon as possible in order to create a fresh environment for students. We are also considering fundraisers and other events to bring everyone together.

Additionally, the organization is planning a department outing to the Ashland University Theatre Department's performance of BASKERVILLE: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery in early April. The department is grateful to Barkley and Ludwig for their leadership.
