From the Convention Chair

1/24/12 - As students and faculty finalize their plans to travel to New Orleans in just over five weeks, they should not forget one of the most important—and money-saving—steps: early registration for convention. Tomorrow (Wednesday, January 25) is the final day for early registration.

Within just a day or two, the more complete schedule will include chair designations, making travel planning even easier. And though the hotel block just filled, rooms may come available as students' plans change. In addition, the website will soon offer suggestions for overflow hotel space. And just today, on a popular discount comparison site, I saw rates rivaling our convention discount at very nice hotels within a 3-block radius of the Marriott.

The details for the 2012 Sigma Tau Delta Convention are falling into place! For more information, visit the convention website, where you will see

Together, we will reawaken our love for the organization and for this discipline.
