INDIANAPOLIS — The Honor Society of Nursing, Sigma Theta Tau International (STTI) and the Sigma Theta Tau International Foundation for Nursing announced today the receipt of a grant from the Hugoton Foundation, which will allow STTI to develop and implement an online mentoring program. The grant was awarded in honor of the Hugoton Foundation’s president and STTI honorary member, Joan K. Stout, RN.

Set to launch before the end of 2017, the online mentoring program will be a valuable STTI member benefit focused on career development and guidance.

“Helping STTI members grow and thrive in their careers is an important priority,” said STTI President Cathy Catrambone, PhD, RN, FAAN. “This new online mentoring program will be a useful resource for our nurse members throughout every stage of their education and career.”
