Welcome to Sigma Theta Tau Alpha Kappa Chapter At Large

Teresa Sakraida

Greetings from Alpha Kappa Chapter-at-Large! Our chapter is one of 431 chapters of Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) Honor Society of Nursing (http://www.nursingsociety.org ).

The Denver metropolitan area chapter members carry out STTI's mission to support the learning, knowledge, and professional development of nurses committed to making a difference in health worldwide. Chapter members honor our nursing profession in countless ways.

The original Alpha Kappa Chapter was chartered on January 15, 1966, at the University of Colorado School of Nursing. In January 1982, the chapter was re-chartered as the Alpha Kappa Chapter-at-Large with the addition of Loretto Heights Nursing, housed at Regis University since 1989. We celebrated our chapter's 40th anniversary in 2006 with a gala event at the Dunafon Castle. Nationally recognized nursing leader Dr. Grif Alspach spoke, and we presented the Chapter Legacy Award to Dr. Martha Holt Stoner, a charter member from 1966.

Members may contact me at 303-724-8539 or email Teresa.Sakaraida@ucdenver.edu for information about STTI and Alpha Kappa Chapter -at -Large. It is my pleasure to serve the local Alpha Kappa Chapter-at-Large as president for 2012 -2014.

Sincerely,

Teresa J. Sakraida, PhD, RN
Chapter President
