Chapter Welcome Message



 
Welcome to Epsilon Nu at-Large Chapter

Dr. Benita Chatmon-President, PhD, MSN, RN, CNE

Welcome to the official website of Epsilon Nu at-Large Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau International, Honor Society of Nursing. Epsilon Nu Chapter was granted to the School of Nursing on November 6, 1981. March 20, 2021, Epsilon Nu Chapter would become an “at-large” chapter adding another academic and clinical site (University Medical Center in New Orleans and LSU-Alexandria). It is a privilege and honor to serve as the Chapter President for the 2021-2023 biennium.

My vision is to promote, preserve, and improve chapter membership, operations and community service, through strategic planning, chapter management, membership engagement, and leadership development.

Sigma’s vision of “Connected, empowered nurse leaders transforming global healthcare” and its mission of “developing nurse leaders anywhere to improve healthcare everywhere” is the foundation of the principles Sigma leaders and members stand on. Standing on the mission and vision of Sigma, Epsilon Nu at-Large Chapter focuses on programs that address nursing scholarship, education, health, international development, and leadership.

I am excited to be a part of the many new and innovative ideas that my board has been discussing. I invite current and future members to participate in our monthly chapter meetings on the 2nd Monday (3pm) of the month. If you are interested in serving on a committee, please feel free to contact me. You can EMAIL ME (bnwoko@lsuhsc.edu) with any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions related to Epsilon Nu at-Large Chapter.

Best Regards,

Benita N. Chatmon, PhD, MSN, RN, CNE
