Call for Student Papers
for Sigma Delta Pi’s 14th Annual “Best Practices” Session
at the 108th Conference of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese (AATSP)
Orlando, Florida
July 8-11, 2026
Student Members of active Sigma Delta Pi chapters are invited to submit a proposal for a 15-minute presentation on your chapter’s “best practices” that focus on Sigma Delta Pi activities at your local institution. We strongly encourage proposals from current student members/officers who are actively involved in initiating, organizing, executing, and/or participating in Sigma Delta Pi activities at their institutions. Members who have already graduated at the time of application may not apply.
By November 9, 2025, please e-mail the following to delmastromp@cofc.edu:
1) your full name
2) name of your Sigma Delta Pi chapter and college/university
3) name of your chapter adviser
4) title of your proposed presentation
5) summary of your proposed presentation (no longer than 150 words)
Final decisions will be communicated in November 2025.
Each student whose paper is selected for presentation will receive a $300 travel stipend plus paid conference registration (early bird rate) courtesy of Sigma Delta Pi and complimentary student membership in AATSP, courtesy of the AATSP. However, the same student is expected to secure travel-related funding for all remaining expenses through their college/university, either via the academic departments, the dean’s or provost’s office, the office of student activities, or other institutional sources. Colleges/universities often provide funding for students presenting at conferences. Your chapter adviser can assist you with exploring these funding options. Sigma Delta Pi is unable to provide monetary support beyond the $300 travel stipend and conference registration (early bird rate) per selected student.
