The Mu Lambda Chapter Board and I welcome you!
The Mu Lambda chapter members are helping to make Sigma Theta Tau’s mission reality. The mission supports learning, knowledge, and professional developments of nurses committed to making a difference in the world. Sigma Theta Tau and Mu Lambda are looking for and developing ways to help nurses heal, lead, and learn.
Mu Lambda members are offered opportunities worth their precious time. They are tapped to use their talents in all aspects of leadership and management to build a healthy profession, community, nation, and world. Mu Lambda is a learning community of professionals whose core values are about knowledge and scholarship that strengthen nursing services and endeavors.
Mu Lambda members are involved in community services, such as the Alzheimer’s Walk, and fund raisers for nursing research. The annual Research Forum celebrates learning from qualitative, quantitative, and field research. National endeavors such as initiatives on aging and health policy projects are supported, and in some cases, led by Mu Lambda members. International projects include volunteer work done in Honduras and Guatemala by nursing faculty and students involved in outreach, in supporting professional growth and development of a nurse in Ghana, and providing financial assistance to an orphanage in Mexico.
Mu Lambda members are encouraged to enrich practice through research and education. Research grants are available to help to help members pursue new knowledge. Contact hours are provided for many of the activities.
Relationships are fostered through dialogue and networking. You are welcome to attend meetings and serve on committees that interest you. Look for upcoming events and activities of our members in The Quest, a newsletter mailed out quarterly.
We believe we can make a positive difference in people’s lives. Please join us in this effort.
