Ten inducted members, one professor and an alumna member went to the convention. Seven students presented their work and two members proposed roundtables that were accepted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese awards would not have been possible without the hard work and dedication of the Rho Psi members and their sponsor, Dr. Lexey Bartlett,\u201d said Judy Sansom, president of the FHSU Chapter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur literary arts journal, \u2018Lines from the Middle of Nowhere,\u2019 is a student publication that accepts submissions from online and on-campus FHSU students,\u201d said Sansom. \u201cWithout talented students, we would not have a successful journal.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLines\u201d highlights the talents of FHSU students and accepts work submitted by any member of FHSU, including virtual students. The work is then selected by a student-led editorial board composed of Sigma Tau Delta members. This year\u2019s journal displays 15 poems, three short stories and 10 pieces of visual art by majors across the campus.
