In observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we not only pay homage to his momentous civil rights legacy, but we also recognize that his words may have sparked the modern day environmental justice movement. Ecology teaches us that humans are not separate from nature. Protecting people is part of protecting the planet. ⁣

Sterling College has a Challenge Course with low elements that emphasize group collaboration and communication skills, and high elements that help cultivate trust, mutual support, and courage. The College has a 30-foot outdoor climbing wall, where students practice introductory rock climbing skills before getting out on local crags, and gather on warm fall evenings for recreational climbing. Sterling also has an indoor bouldering gym where students cultivate technique and strength. The College has a gear outfitter and rental center where students learn how to pack out for trips and can rent equipment for personal adventures: backpacking, climbing, snowshoeing, canoeing, and more.

""When we engage in fiber arts, we are creating something, but we're also participating in historic traditions tens of thousands of years old. You are not only not only making art for your soul and future generations, you are embodying the work of our ancestors." - The Woven Road ⁣

In 2021, the School of the New American Farmstead will offer four professional certificate programs built on the foundation of the continuing education courses offered since 2016: artisan cheesemaking, sustainable food craft, organic wine and spirits production, and educational farm and garden management. These hands-on certificates will require you to roll up your sleeves and dig in and engage all of your senses; you’ll take home insights into techniques perfected by some of the world’s most skilled ecological farmers and craft-food producers. #schoolofthenewamericanfarmstead

Sterling first offered a semester-long Southwest Field Program in 1995 and in 2021 will explore providing related programs of study in partnership with the Natural History Institute in Arizona. The Natural History Institute is a mission-aligned collaborator in this work as a leader and resource for a revitalized practice of natural history that integrates art, science, and humanities to promote the health and well-being of humans, the natural world, and the relationship between the two.

The Sterling College Field Studies program offers students the chance to discover the diversity of the planet’s landscapes and cultures, and explore the complex, ever-changing co-evolutionary relationships among people and place. ⁣

In collaboration with @collegeoftheatlantic and with generous funding from The Endeavor Foundation, Sterling in 2021 will advance diversity, equity, and inclusion on its campus by addressing academic and student life improvements that support students of color. These new resources are no small feat to secure during challenging times and will directly serve the needs of our community of color while also working towards equipping white allies with the tools and skills and self-awareness they need as we work towards a community where all members are thriving. ⁣
