For the second consecutive year, students at Alvernia University, Reading, earned honors by the international English honor society, Sigma Tau Delta, for their literary and artistic works in Zephyrus, the university's literary arts journal. Zephyrus claimed second place.
Several local students earned accolades for their contributions to Zephyrus. Those students are Agora Cyber Charter School graduate Michael Beyer, an English major from Birdsboro; Berks Catholic High School graduate Cami Beyer, an occupational therapy major from Birdsboro; Kimberly Beyer of Birdsboro, a non-degree student; Cocalico High School graduate Lindsay Eberly, an occupational therapy major from Denver; and Hershey High School graduate Erica Groves, a nursing major from Hummelstown.
Alvernia's chapter of Sigma Tau Delta will receive the award in March, when they attend the 2020 Sigma Tau Delta International Convention in Las Vegas, Nev. They will present a panel titled "Transformative Landscapes in Dystopian Literature."
Zephyrus is a student-run operation that includes soliciting submissions, editing, and assembling the hard copy. The editorial board encouraged peers to submit creative pieces that embodied the theme of the winning edition, "New Beginnings." The submissions received included photographs, short stories, poems, and various other unique artworks that illustrated this idea.
