Four Sterling College seniors will present their final artwork in “Homeland – A Senior Art Exhibit,” opening Thursday, April 26. Each artist will be exhibiting newly created bodies of work centered around ideas related to their “homeland.” The public is invited to the reception for Jose G. Chávez, Livvy Dunning, Astrid Johanny Moncada and Brandon Peterson in the gallery of the Art and Media Center from 5-7 p.m. “Homeland” will be on display Monday-Friday from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. April 26-May 11.

Eight doors and one window slamming, flying sardines, misplaced telephones, sabotage, back-stabbing and general mayhem galore all come together in only one thing: the now-classic stage comedy - “Noises Off.”  A play-within-a-play “Noises Off” will open Thursday, April 19, bringing four performances of comedy to Sterling College. Audiences will see the inner workings of a theater production in this backstage farce by Michael Frayn, as a traveling company debuts a British farce. “Noises Off” will begin at 7:30 p.m. April 19-21 and at 2 p.m.

Matt Jaeger ’00, co-founder and president of Emergent Green Energy, will be the speaker for the 2018 Sterling College Commencement ceremony. The ceremony will take place on Saturday, May 12, at 9:45 a.m. on East Cooper Lawn on the Sterling College campus. The event is open to the public.

Sterling College junior Shelby Stowe of Bentonville, Arkansas, was one of 12 math majors from across the United States selected for a research experience for undergraduates at Valparaiso University. Under the guidance of Dr. Alex Capaldi, professor at Valparaiso University, Stowe and two other students worked to create a mathematical tool that would analyze the effects of a White Nose Syndrome, a fungal disease affecting the population of bats in North America.
