On behalf of the Executive Board of the Upsilon Chapter and its membership, thank you for visiting our website. Our Chapter is one of the original chapter’s of Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI), the Honor Society of Nursing. In fact, we are planning our chapter’s 50^th anniversary in 2011.

Our vision is to communicate and connect with our chapter members, serve as a peer-contributing resource for knowledge and scholarship, to provide leadership development opportunities and provide meaningful and purposeful involvement in service activities that are globally relevant.

Our 2008-2009 Executive board consists of both faculty and community leaders. This year, we have several recent NYU College of Nursing graduates who have joined our board and energized our chapter. We have planned some very exciting programs and various service activities and hope that our membership will join us. Our scheduled events and business meeting can be found on our website. We do ask that our chapter members keep their contact information current on the STTI website so we can keep you informed of the chapter’s events and activities.

We also will be inducting new members in April 2009. We remain committed to awarding both scholarships and research awards each year. Please refer to the website for information regarding membership, our induction in April, and research awards applications.

I look forward to a very productive year for our chapter and hope to see our members throughout the year. Please feel free to email me () or any of the board for any suggestions or thoughts.

Fondly,
Rose Knapp
