Organizations
A college education is much more than going to class and working hard to earn a degree. When you join a student or professional organization, you’ll have an opportunity to meet interesting people and make lifelong friends. Being involved is not only fun, you can make connections and build a network that can help you throughout your career.
Below are a few organizations that may interest you as a nursing student.
Delta Xi Chapter of Sigma
The Sigma honor society celebrates excellence in nursing, and Delta Xi has been active at Kent State University since 1980. We offer our members support throughout their entire nursing career by offering leadership development, continuing education, network opportunities, and service activities. Sigma connects nurses across specialty areas and workplaces, which strengthens the nursing community locally as well as globally.
Delta Xi is a local chapter of a prestigious international nursing honor society. Sigma membership is open to baccalaureate and graduate nursing students who demonstrate excellence in scholarship and to nurse leaders exhibiting exceptional achievements in nursing.
Opportunities include leadership development positions such as Student Leadership Intern, Board of Directors, and Governing Committees.
Other opportunities included in membership are academic scholarships; research grants; access to journals and an international nursing repository;
and travel opportunities to Sigma conferences.
We look forward to the opportunity to connect with you!
