• The English Program and Sigma Tau Delta invites all faculty, students, and staff to participate in the second annual African American History Month Book Cover Scavenger Hunt. The winner receives a $25 gift. Here's how it works: There are small posters of four book covers by African American authors hidden around campus. Take a selfie with a book cover and email it to Sigma Tau Delta advisor, English Professor Sylvia Pamboukian (Pamboukian@rmu.edu) and you're entered in a draw to win the gift card. The gift card winner will be chosen from all the correct entries after the contest closes. You can enter once with each book cover.

  So, where are they?

  The first is where books congregate,
  The second where writers concentrate,
  The third hangs near dramatic halls,
  The fourth leads to far off ports of call.
  Read all four books and you will find
  Beauty, truth, and strength of mind.

  Good luck!
