category: Academics C-N’s Sigma Delta Pi chapter earns national award for 2nd consecutive year category: Academics | August 6, 2024 Carson-Newman University’s Gamma Chi Chapter of Sigma Delta Pi, the National Collegiate Hispanic Honor Society, has been named an “Honor Chapter” for its outstanding activities in 2023-24. Overseen by faculty advisors Drs. Mary Baldridge and Leonor Taiano, Carson-Newman’s chapter is one of only 13 nationwide earning the honor. It is the University’s second consecutive year to receive the distinction. Each summer 635 chapters of Sigma Delta Pi nationwide are asked to submit an annual report detailing their activities and projects from the academic year. Based on these reports, the National Executive Committee chooses approximately 10-15 “Honor Chapters” annually. The recognition is based upon the caliber of chapter projects that reflect the Sigma Delta Pi mission of honoring excellence in the study of the Spanish language, contributing to cultural understanding, and upholding the goals of the society. Founded in 1919 and with its national office at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, Sigma Delta Pi is also a member since 1966 of the Association of College Honor Societies, the nation’s only certifying agency for college and university honor societies.
