Sigma Tau Delta Literary Reading

Submitted by Saint Martin’s University

The Saint Martin’s chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the international English honor society, will celebrate the second annual publication of the university’s literary and artistic journal, SMUniverse, with a reading at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 7, in the O’Grady Library’s Benedictine Reading Room. The journal, which was edited by members of the society, includes creative writing and visual art by current SMU students. For the first time this year, SMUniverse is also publishing stories by the winners of the Teen Short Story Contest organized by the Lacey Loves to Read program at North Thurston Public Schools.

“Our students have put together an excellent edition,” says faculty sponsor Jamie Olson, Ph.D., associate professor of English. “I’m impressed with the editorial work that the members of Sigma Tau Delta have done this spring, and I’m happy that they’ve continued the tradition that we began last year with the inaugural issue of SMUniverse.”
