Alumni Professional Development Presentation

Alumni members of Sigma Tau Delta planning to attend the 2023 “Colorful Colorado” Convention in Denver, CO, are welcome to submit a Professional Development Presentation and to earn a $300 honorarium to help defray their convention expenses.

Professional Development Panels will be held at 9:30-10:45 a.m., Thursday, March 30, and will have two to four alumni presenters in panels arranged topically; for example, alumni in arts management might be on the same panel together. No alumni presenter will be expected to present a panel entirely on their own. The Society is planning to offer ten honoraria. A panel of alumni and Chapter Advisors will select the accepted proposals based on these evaluation criteria.

  • Name, email address, phone number, chapter under which you joined Sigma Tau Delta
