For Alumni
Sterling’s alums are diverse and include former students of Sterling School, the Grassroots Program, Sterling Institute, and Sterling College.
Sterling always has, and always will, emphasize the important and the authentic, and alums are a testament to the powerful effect of that emphasis.
Spring 2026 marks Sterling’s last undergraduate semester. We will graduate our final class at Commencement on Saturday, May 16. We hope you will join us for the festivities. For additional alumni events on campus this spring, please see transition resources below.
