One of this year's officers is writing their bio now. Please check back
another day.
President
Jessica Upson
I am
graduating in December 2008 with a degree in Communication / English, with an
emphasis in humanities and rhetoric. I don’t plan to stop my education then but
will continue in a graduate program. That focus is not yet determined, because I
am indecisive and I don’t want to be limited.
I am an active person who enjoys being outdoors as much as I do curled-up
reading a book or typing fervently (or passively) at my computer. I run, bike,
camp, hike, play soccer, and walk Jack (our dog) as often as I can. My daughter,
Deonnee, keeps me young and I keep her moving. My free time is sparse, but I try
to enjoy every minute and not let a single thing escape my attention.
I fell into Sigma Tau Delta last fall when then President, Kim Lock, needed
someone to fill the treasurer position. I didn’t know a thing about Sigma Tau
Delta, but I quickly learned what we were about. Now, as president, I’ve begun
to learn about the internal workings of our club on campus. Serving as treasurer
was a rewarding experience and I am confident that filling the role of president
will be just as rewarding.
My challenge this year is to revive Sigma Tau Delta’s community. We work hard
and we love what we do. This needs to be rewarded. With like-minded people, we
should cultivate a community that helps, shares, and learns with one another
outside of the university.

My recent exchange
to Germany was certainly not one I had planned, but rather one that I found
myself falling into! I spent my junior year of high school as a
Congress-Bundestag exchange student. I then entered university as an English
student, which left me no time for additional German courses! I kept in contact
with my friends and host family in Germany and halfway through my junior year in
college, I decided to add German as a second major. As the year progressed, I
started to become more engulfed in the German culture and I found that I missed
it so much – so much, in fact, that I had already committed to another exchange
before I had even decided what I wanted to do! I spent the summer semester of
2007 in Saarbruecken in the Saarland and it was an experience that cannot
compare to anything I have ever done. I was lucky enough to be able to stroll
along the Saar River and stop for the local cuisine. I made friends I will never
forget and I gladly recommend time in Germany to anyone who even considers it!

I am an out of state
student from Winnemucca, Nevada and currently a junior studying English Teaching
with a minor in Geography. I have known that I wanted to be a teacher since 3rd
grade and since reading and writing were two of my favorite things to do I
decided to go with English Teaching. I want to teach at the secondary level and
I hope to share the joy that English brings me with the students I'm going to
teach. When I graduate I want to teach anywhere and everywhere. In foreign
countries or in any of the 50 states, I will go where I am needed.
I have been a member of Sigma Tau Delta for a little over a year now and have
loved it. I have become more involved with our society since becoming an
officer, I get to see new faces and make new friends. Being surrounded by
English majors always puts a smile on my face.
I also love being outdoors. Hiking, mountain biking, sipping a cup of tea while
outside reading a book on my porch, you name it, I love it! I am also a Big
Sister through the Big Brother Big Sister Program, my little, Ashley, and I have
been matched for almost two years.
