“Who cooks for you?” 🦉 Ecology student and budding nature photographer, Collin, spent some time in the woods this week and captured this very relatable moment with a local barred owl (Strix varia), tracking his progress through the snow at sunset.

#BLACKLIVESMATTER today, and every day.

Today is a great day to remind ourselves and others of the reasons why Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was disliked in his time, and probably would be today— for speaking truth to power, for being an analytical and critical thinker, for challenging oppressors, and for empowering people to go out into their communities and make meaningful change from the ground up.
.
These are all lessons and values we take to heart, and around which we build our own community here at Sterling. Sometimes we falter— but we always try.
.
To hold ourselves accountable in this community, we recently launched a new 10-year comprehensive Strategic Plan & Initiative rooted in tenets of racial, economic, and social justice. Read it here: https://sterlingcollege.edu/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Sterling-College-SPI-Strategic-Plan-Initiative.pdf
.
And if you have the means, we hope you’ll consider donating to Black Lives Matter @blklivesmatter (#linkinbio).

We're looking backwards to some of our favorite moments from 2019!
.
Alumna Izzy Ruffin '17 posted this photo last year. When we reached out about it, here's what she said: "I’m working at @chewonki Foundation, as their year-round full time farmer/educator. I started Feb. 1st!

Their semester school in Wiscasset, Maine collaborates with the farm in many ways, including a rotation of morning farm chores with us by cabin, and many work programs. Here, semester students from semester 62, who are in a Literature and the Land class, visited with us to explore the natural cycle of work being done on the farm around this time, including watching a logging demo with Bob our draft horse, and learning about why we choose draft power for our farm. In this moment, I was set up inside mending our electronet fences which we do this time every year, to get ready for the summer grazing season. Other farmers were washing spinach that we grew in our greenhouse, seeding pea shoots, unharnessing Bob, and fixing a broken wheelbarrow. The students cycled through and took notes on the work we were doing while we talked through why we do it and how it’s important to the farm as a whole. Their class is writing an essay about their experience on Salt Marsh Farm (Chewonki’s farm), which is both traditional and progressive in its similarities to how they farmed the land in the 1800s."

Proud of you, Izzy! 🧠 💪

We had an unbelievable bumper crop this year! Maia led and organized a heroic collective effort to process apples from trees all over campus into all sorts of goodies that we will consume for the rest of the year.
