Sterling College has announced it plans for on-campus classes to resume this fall, beginning on August 26, 2020. New Student Orientation and move-in weekends are planned to take place as originally scheduled with move-in for fall student-athletes taking place on August 7, move-in for all remaining new students taking place on August 22 and New Student Orientation officially kicking off on August 22, also.

With disruption to regular activities, Sterling College faculty and staff have supported current and prospective students online using a variety of new tools, resources and methods. In response to the COVID-19 spread around the country, the College extended Spring Break by one week and began online instruction on March 30, with faculty and staff engaging students in an online format using Canvas and other virtual tools.

Sterling College student journalists recently won several awards in the 2020 Kansas Collegiate Media Publications Award Contest. Junior Darren Porche, of Houston, sophomore Taya Wilson, of Sterling, and freshman Max Dutton, of Sterling, all came away as individual winners.

Also, the Sterling College Observer newspaper, which is in its first year as the campus newspaper, received a Silver designation in the overall category, in which publications can earn one or none of three overall honors within their classification.
