The English Department provides many opportunities for students to become involved in learning, research, and publications.  In addition to several scholarships, the department also offers a strong internship program for pre-professional experiential learning.  Graduate students benefit from the experiential learning opportunities as teaching assistants or tutors in Southeast’s Writing Lab.  The department also hosts a chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the international English honor society.  Finally, the department also provides opportunities in the Center for Faulkner studies (which includes one of the world’s leading collections of Faulkner-related material), and in Southeast Missouri State University Press, and several other publications.
