STERLING, Kan. — Sterling College will be holding a Founders Day celebration on Friday, Nov. 1, the same day the College was founded in 1887.
There will be a special Heritage Convocation service, which will take place at 10 a.m. in Culbertson Auditorium, and is open to students, faculty, alumni, and the public.
David Earle, the vice president for advancement and alumni relations, will present a reflection on Sterling College’s heritage and its enduring impact on the community and beyond. During this special presentation, Earle will share stories from the College’s past and celebrate how Sterling continues to shape future leaders in line with its Christian mission.
Attendees are invited to the Heritage Chapel and encouraged to wear Sterling apparel to fully embrace the spirit of the day by engaging with the campus community. Founders Day is a celebration not only of the College’s history but also of the ongoing contributions of students, faculty, and alumni who advance its mission daily.
The event coincides with Giving Day 2024, another significant occasion for Sterling College. As part of the celebration, alumni and supporters are encouraged to participate in both events by giving, sharing their Sterling stories, and wearing their Sterling gear with pride.
