Dennis Dutton Dennis came to Sterling as a student almost 50 years ago. He was interested in finding a college with a strong Christian perspective as well as a strong theatre program, communications program, and a place where he sensed a committed community—and Sterling was it. After working at a newspaper, he decided to join the Admissions Office, where he was director of admissions for over 30 years. Since 2022, he has been the Arts Director for Sterling College, working closely with the Theatre, Music, Art & Design, and Communications programs, students, and faculty.
