Johanna Burdet ’08 Like all Sterling College seniors, Johanna’s world has been transformed. No longer is her life a series of class periods punctuated with visits to the kitchen for coffee, stints in the reading room to peruse an assigned reading, or even “all-nighters” in the library to prepare for a mere midterm. Her academic career of late can be summarized in one succinct acronym: SARP. |
New Special Topics Courses Each semester new special topics courses are developed out of faculty expertise and student interest. These courses focus on issues of current concern to students, who will work on independent projects reflective of their interests. Topics chosen will normally relate to students' majors. Visiting guest lecturers and field trips to academic, research, and political centers in New England and Canada complement in class work and research. |

21st Century Iceland Expedition Faculty Spotlight: The first thing we noticed as we stepped off the bus was the wind. Snow clung to the lee side of the rocks, behind low bushes, and anywhere else it could find shelter from the wind funneled up from the North Atlantic, some 1,500 ft below us. As our two guides shepherded us down the trackless, treeless slopes, the expanse of Geirþjófsfjörður began to reveal itself. Between the precipitous fjord walls, only two farm houses and a sparse grove of spruce trees gave evidence that people ever visited this place. |
