Between regular competition tournaments, hosting an out-of-state tournament, hosting a Kansas State Fair event and publishing a speech, the Sterling College Debate and Forensics team under coach Ken Troyer has posted a busy fall season. 

The fall started in early September with the team hosting the annual Kansas State Fair Debate Exhibition. About 200 high school students attended the event which included an exhibition of this year’s high school debate topic demonstrated by four area high school teams. 

Sterling College Theatre Director Greg McGlynn and Ken Ludwig’s comedy Moon Over Buffalo are a perfect match. The play bursting with fast-paced humor and farce will be staged in Culbertson Auditorium on Friday and Saturday, November 8 and 9 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, November 10 at 2:00 p.m. 

Sterling College will honor its legacy and rich history with a Founders Day celebration on Friday, November 1, 2024, the same day the College was founded in 1887. The highlight of the day will be a Heritage Convocation service, which will take place at 10 a.m. in Culbertson Auditorium and is open to students, faculty, alumni, and the public. 

Sterling College is excited to celebrate its second annual Giving Day on November 1, 2024, coinciding with the College’s founding anniversary on November 1, 1887. This year, the College aims to build upon the success of its inaugural event by announcing a $100,000 matching challenge, made possible through the generosity of two lead donors. Every dollar donated will be matched up to $100,000, potentially doubling the impact to $200,000 for student scholarships.
