Sigma Theta Tau International is the international honor society of nursing pursuing excellence in clinical practice, education, research, and leadership. It was founded in 1922 by six nursing students at Indiana University. Using the Greek words meaning "love," "courage," and "honor" to name the organization, they recognized the value of scholarship and the importance of excellence in practice. By 1936, Sigma Theta Tau was the first organization to fund nursing research and has since underwritten more than 250 grants.
The vision of Sigma Theta Tau International, Honor Society of Nursing, is to create a global community of nurses who lead in using scholarship, knowledge, and technology to improve the health of the world's people. The mission of the society is accomplished by supporting the learning and professional development of its members, who strive to improve nursing care worldwide.

Members reside in more than 90 countries. Sixty-one percent of active members hold master's and/or doctoral degrees. Forty-eight percent are clinicians, 21 percent are administrators or supervisors and 20 percent are educators or researchers. There are 431 chapters on 505 college campuses in Australia, Botzwana, Brazil, Canada, Hong Kiong, Mexico, the Netherlands, Pakistan, South Africa, South Korea, Swaziland, Taiwan, Tanzania and the U.S.

the Board and every Omicron Pi member who has participated!
In November, Mary Kamienski, Past President and current Counselor, Pat Hindin, Vice President, other Omicron Pimembers and I attended the 39th Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) Biennial meeting in Baltimore. The meeting was a combination of scientific sessions, innovative clinical projects, leadership initiatives, celebrations of international STTI awards, Regional chapter meetings, and the House of Delegates. The new STTI President is Carol Huston, Kappa Omicron, Professor of Nursing at California State University, Chico! Her presidential call to action is Leading Globally, which includes creating and sharing knowledge resources, being intentionally global, developing career-spanning leadership skills, and providing service. more
