President's Message

Greetings, and welcome to the Sigma Theta Tau-Beta Alpha Chapter Website. It is my pleasure to welcome you to such a prestigious and dynamic professional organization. As a member of the Beta-Alpha Chapter of STTI, you have become part of not only our local chapter, but a much greater international organization of over 260,000 nurses. We are connected by our numbers, across vast and disparate nations, and by our pursuit of scholarly achievement, personal integrity, and clinical experience at over 400 college and university campuses all over the world.

The Beta Alpha Chapter is fortunate to stand on the shoulders of 46 years of shared history. I encourage each of you to attend as many Beta Alpha events as possible, as it is your commitment and passion that will serve to strengthen our chapter as we undertake new endeavors and cultivate fresh ideas. We are in the process of launching a number of exciting initiatives that will not only serve the ideals and goals of Sigma Theta Tau, but will also be a great deal of fun.

To maximize your experience as a member of STTI, there are numerous ways to get involved and be of service such as by joining a committee or participating in new initiatives. Please contact me at a.b.edge@tcu.edu to find out more about how you can get the most out of your membership.

Also, make sure to update your profile information on the Sigma Theta Tau website, and include your most reliable email address and contact information. We will let you know what exciting new developments we’re working on as a chapter. Finally, we’d love to learn more about you, so please like our Facebook page so you can stay up-to-date on any and all news, events, and general goings-on in the Beta Alpha Chapter, get to know other members, and be the first to hear about exciting announcements.

Once again, welcome to Beta Alpha! We’re glad you’re here, and we look forward to accomplishing wonderful things together!
