UNC’s Chapter of Sigma Delta Pi Earns National Award for 12th Consecutive Year
August 21, 2018
The University of Northern Colorado’s chapter of the National Collegiate Hispanic
Honor Society has been named an “Honor Chapter” for its outstanding activities in
2017-18.
This is the 12th consecutive year that UNC has received this award, and Professor Efraín
E. Garza, UNC chapter adviser, was instrumental in earning this honor that was
bestowed upon only 10 chapters nationwide in 2018.
Each summer, the over 615 chapters of Sigma Delta Pi across the U.S. are asked
to submit an annual report detailing their numerous activities and projects from
the academic year. Based on these reports, the National Executive Committee chooses
approximately 10-15 “Honor Chapters” annually. This recognition is based upon
the caliber of chapter projects that reflect the Sigma Delta Pi mission of honoring
excellence in the study of the Spanish language, contributing to cultural understanding
and upholding the goals of the society.
With its national office at the College of Charleston in South Carolina, Sigma
Delta Pi is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies, the
nation’s only certifying agency for college and university honor societies.
