The Director of Education for Sigma Delta Sigma is Thomas Smith. Brother Smith is a high school educator in Cobb County GA. He has an advanced degree in Education.
The Education program developed from the Fraternity’s traditional emphasis on education academic achievement as an ingredient for success. During the 1945 Conclave in St. Louis, Missouri, the Fraternity engaged in a restructuring of its programming, leading to the birth of Education as an International program. The program focuses on providing a variety of services to alumni and collegiate members of the Fraternity, which in turn translates to services to local communities. In-house programs include providing scholarships, conferences, college fairs, mentoring and tutoring at local, regional and national levels.
The international initiatives around education are:
- Adopt A School – The Adopt-A-School component is designed to get Sigma men into the schools in your community, working with teachers and principals to assist students in improving their knowledge, skills academically and build student literacy.
- Scholarships – The scholarship component is designed to have Sigma grow its impact in the area of assisting with the cost of education at both the high school and college levels through the awarding of scholarships at both levels.
