Welcome
to the Sigma Theta Tau, Beta Mu Chapter web site. We are very
proud of the strong and vital relationship between the STTI
Beta Mu Chapter and the University of Arizona College of Nursing.
This relationship began with the founding of Beta Mu in 1967
and has continued to thrive through the years as an exemplary
relationship between an STTI chapter and the sponsoring college
of nursing.
Many members of
Beta Mu are alumni or faculty of the University of Arizona
College of Nursing, creating a marvelous network of dynamic
members with ties to both organizations. And each year the
top 35% of students graduating with bachelor’s degrees and
top graduate students are invited for induction into STTI
Beta Mu. In addition, community nursing colleagues are often
nominated for induction in recognition of their scholarship
and leadership in professional nursing careers, further strengthening
our ties with stellar nursing leaders locally and regionally.
|
| Our
ties are beneficial to students, faculty, the wider professional
nursing community and to other community organizations. Each
year, STTI Beta Mu sponsors fall and spring breakfasts for new
nursing students, provides two graduate student awards, selects
Beta Mu members as recipients of awards for Excellence for Education,
Practice, Leadership and Research, funds nursing research and
community partnership projects. And, Beta Mu has created volunteer
service projects in collaboration with Girls Scouts and with
Special Olympics.
The University
of Arizona College of Nursing is honored to support STTI Beta
Mu in it’s many worthy endeavors. For example the College
of Nursing provides meeting space for the Board of Directors
meetings and for program meetings, and secretarial support
for many chapter activities, such as assistance coordinating
reservations for the annual banquet for installation of officers
and induction of new members. And, this year two faculty received
funding to sponsor 27 nursing students to attend the Beta
Mu fundraiser at the Gaslight Theater, along with faculty
and Beta Mu board members! I was part of that collaborative
event and many others.
It is
a pleasure to welcome you to the Beta Mu web site. Please
visit the College of Nursing web site as well at www.nursing.arizona.edu
to learn of the many new and innovative opportunities available
for you!
