SIGMA TAU DELTA<br />
Sigma Tau Delta is the international English honor society. The society strives to confer<br />
distinction upon students who have demonstrated high achievement in English language and<br />
literature. Qualifications for membership are as follows:<br />
formal declaration of English major or minor<br />

WRITING CENTER<br />
The Department of English maintains a Writing Center, which serves the <strong>College</strong> community by<br />
providing advice and support for student writers. The Writing Center operates in conjunction<br />
with the Tutoring Center, both of which are part of the Moshell Learning Center, located on the<br />
ground (2 nd ) floor of the Frank & Laura Lewis Library. Both facilities are directed by Dr. Laine<br />
Scott, who trains students to serve as peer writing consultants. These tutors are available Sunday<br />
through Thursday evenings, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. or by appointment.<br />
Students who would like to serve as peer tutors but are ineligible for work-study funding may<br />
enroll in TCHA 4492 (On-Campus Tutoring Internship) and thus earn one to three (1-3)<br />
semester hours of academic credit for their service. Note that these hours do not count toward<br />
any major or minor program. This course may be repeated for credit. Grading is on a ―Pass/No<br />
credit‖ basis. Prerequisites: Recommendation from a full-time faculty member in the subject to<br />
be tutored and approval by the Director of the Writing and Tutoring Center.<br />
