The new inductees include undergraduate and graduate students at DeSales.
Sigma Theta Tau International, founded in 1922, provides leadership and scholarship to nurses in practice, education and research, in order to enhance the health of all people. It serves to recognize superior academic achievement in undergraduate students, graduate students, and community leaders. Its purpose is to maintain the high standards of the profession of nursing through leadership and scholarship activities. Membership in the society is by invitation to baccalaureate and graduate nursing students, who demonstrate excellence in scholarship, and to nurse leaders exhibiting exceptional achievements in nursing.
The Mu Omicron chapter at DeSales was established in 1983, and received its charter in 1990. To date, the chapter has inducted over 500 undergraduate students, graduate students, and nurse leaders into the prestigious international honor society.
