Sterling is working to bring additional resources to our community that support students of color and advance diversity, equity, and inclusion. This work includes equipping white allies with the tools and skills and self-awareness they need as we strive towards a community where all members are thriving.

To this end, Sterling has begun advertising for a Diversity & Inclusion Fellow to do this work with grant support from The Endeavor Foundation and in partnership with College of the Atlantic (COA). Our hope is that this position will be filled and get underway this semester. The job description was written with input from Sterling’s Equity Council and the equivalent at COA.

From the pandemic to white supremacy, to the climate crisis, to inequality and large-scale economic shifts, it is ever increasingly clear that we require not only new pedagogies but a radical rethinking of institutional forms in higher education. This session features Sterling president, Matthew Derr, and will introduce the seminar’s overall themes and consider the implications of cascading crises on the role of higher education and its relationships to wider society.

Presenters
Matthew Derr, President, Sterling College
Dr. Timothy Eatman, Dean of the Honors Living-Learning Community, Rutgers University - Newark
Davydd Greenwood, Goldwin Smith Professor of Anthropology Emeritus, Cornell University
Joan Naviyuk Kane, Poet & Visiting Lecturer on English, Harvard University
Tsion Syoum '21, Haverford College

This portion is part of a Virtual Summit presented by Haverford College. The virtual summit “Educating for a Just Ecological Transition: Building Higher Educational Alliances in a Time of Climate Crisis” engages emerging responses to the climate crisis in higher education—with particular attention to the roles higher education institutions can play in building alliances with social movements, community organizations, artists, intellectuals, and informal educational structures. How can advocacy around climate justice respond to broader questions about inequalities of power? How should institutions of higher education act on their responsibilities to address the climate crisis through curricula, infrastructure, and institutional action? How can higher education institutions learn from, partner with, and provide resources for community organizations and educational programs?

Join Farley Brown tonight at 7pm for Watershed Bioassessment presented by Vermont Coverts Woodlands for Wildlife. Wildlife habitats are interconnected throughout a watershed, especially those habitats associated with riverine systems. For over a decade, Farley Brown, faculty at Sterling College (past VT Coverts Executive Director), and her students have been exploring and assessing aquatic habitats throughout the Black River watershed in Orleans County. Brown will take us through the Black River watershed as she explains the bioassessment techniques used by the Sterling College students and their findings regarding the health of this local watershed.

What does it mean to be an environmental humanities major?

It means immersing yourself in the creative process to communicate, express yourself, and effect change while exploring ways in which humanity engages with nature. It means transforming wool into yarn, local clay into pottery, plant pulp into paper, and ideas into poetry and prose. Ultimately, it means fully engaging with the natural world as we interpret, create, and share impressions and ideas with the broader community. ⁣

"In the old Marshall Tucker Band song “I Heard It In A Love Song” the singer professes his love for his long-time partner, “I ain’t never been with a woman long enough for my boots to get old. Now we’ve been together so long my boots need to be resoled.” Well, I’ve (John Zaber) been at Sterling long enough that I’ve not only resoled my boots but I’ve purchased a bunch of new ones as well. It’s now time to turn my attention to new ventures in life. At the conclusion of the spring semester I will be retiring from my full time role as a proud member of the Sterling faculty."
