Sterling Faculty
Sterling College’s professors work with students—and not just in the classroom. Along with teaching academic courses, faculty members cooperate in running the outdoor components of programs— accompanying students on Winter Expedition and other adventures in out-of-class learning. They schedule chores, help students cope with the pressures of going to college, serve with them on committees, eat with them in the dining hall, and participate in Community Meetings. They lead hikes, ski treks, and outdoor workshops with students on weekends, and work with them through the week in the woodlot, the barn, the laboratory, the computer room, and in the library. Behind this many-sided approach lies an idea well founded in educational thought: that faculty members should do more than impart information. To teach, they must show—working together with students every day—what people can be when they challenge themselves and treat learning as a lifelong process. Sterling’s faculty is a diverse group, with a broad range of teaching styles. They are unified by an affinity for small-town life, by a strong interest in relating human experience to natural resources, and by determination to work with students as whole people.
