Hello Membership
Thank you for your continued dedication and involvement in Mu Theta At Large, Sigma Theta Tau International, during the 2024–2025 year. Your engagement, leadership, and commitment to excellence in nursing have been vital to our chapter's success.
Whether you participated in events, shared your expertise, or supported our initiatives, your contributions have strengthened our community and furthered our mission to advance nursing scholarship, leadership, and service.
We are happy to announce that we have submitted our chapter for STTI THE CHAPTER KEY AWARD! This submission reflects our past two-year commitment to our strategic plan.
Strategic Goal 1: Recruitment - we completed the new induction process and hosted our induction ceremony in April 2025. The planning and execution of this event has been in the oversight of our Student Nurse Leadership Interns for the past two years and has been a wonderful event attended by new members, families, board of directors, and alumni. We hope to see you there next April!
Strategic Goal 2 Retention and Engagement: We know how busy everyone is - but we ask that you please review any STTI related emails or communications - especially as they relate to your membership. We need our membership to provide the critical services to our membership which includes scholarships, community service events, education, and networking. Please contact us directly if you have any questions. We have implemented a virtual Zoom session "Getting to Know Sigma" to assist with questions from potential members, new members, and to help onboard our board. Please contact Dr. Kathleen Fagan for more information.
Strategic Goal 3 Chapter Operations. We have reviewed and updated our By-laws and are working diligently on creation of a policy and procedure manual which will be accessible to all members. For more information, please contact Dr. Marie Anderson
Strategic Goal 4 Communications. We love to share our accomplishments with our membership! To this end we have a presence on Facebook and Instagram and would love for you to follow us! Please contact Dr Patricia McQuade or Kristin Harmon for more information. We also use "The Circle" to send out monthly information and announcements. In the Fall we send you our Mu Theta At Large Needs Assessment survey. We want to be all that you need in a honor society of nursing. We look forward to and appreciate your feedback as we develop our programing from these responses.
Strategic Goal 5: Community Involvement. This is one of the proud moments for Mu Theta At Large as we have historically supported those in need across our communities. We have annual Holiday Toy Drive, Food Drives and added a Hurricane Relief effort this past fall to assist nurses with boots on the ground in North Carolina - by sending critical supplies needed to help in mobile units after the storm. This was coordinated through networking of our Mu Theta At Large membership with key people who could immediately help in North Carolina. Many thanks to all. Thank you to Dr. Eileen Carrigg Specchio for her continued support of our good deeds!
We have adopted the United Nations Sustainable Development goals and have taken action to support three of them over the past two years.
· Number 1: No poverty
· Number 2: Zero Hunger
· Number 13: Climate Action
Together - we make a difference in the lives of so many people!
We encourage you to stay connected with Mu Theta At Large and remain actively involved as we continue to grow and support excellence in nursing together.
We are truly grateful for your support and look forward to another impactful year together.
Warm regards,
