Love, Courage, Honor
In 1955, the UConn School of Nursing chartered Mu Chapter as the 11th chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International, the Honor Society of Nursing. There are now over 540 chapters internationally.
Headquartered in Indianapolis, Sigma Theta Tau encourages scholarship and research in nursing. Mu Chapter holds local meetings throughout the year and sends representatives to the society’s annual regional, national, and international conferences. In addition, outstanding research proposals are funded by monetary awards from the Mu Chapter and Sigma Theta Tau International.
