Membership is open to students, faculty, and staff at UMSL who share an interest in literature, language, and literacy and includes opportunities for awards, scholarships, internships, and leadership activities. Both undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to attend national conventions and regional conferences, as well as prepare and present papers.
