Students from Louisiana Tech’s chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the international English honor society, presented both their scholarly research and their creative works to members of the organization from around the globe at the Centennial Conference in St. Louis, Mo., the first week of April.

Students chosen to present at the convention participated in panels focused on Victorian Literature, Shakespeare, Poetry, Contemporary American Literature, and Modernism.

In addition to presenting, the students had the opportunity to meet authors Maryfrances Wagner and Carl Phillips, explore St. Louis, network with peers across the country, and attend a poetry reading at the Pulitzer Arts Institute featuring Franklin K.R Cline and Sky Hopinka.

The Tech chapter thanks the University’s College of Liberal Arts for funding the trip.

Tech’s Sigma Tau Delta chapter plans to attend next year’s convention, scheduled March 19-22 in Pittsburgh, Pa.
