Rose Wilson is the assistant director of facilities at Garden City Community College. She likes her job but without a college degree, her options for promotion or working elsewhere were limited. That is when she decided to continue her education. Rose began by earning an associate’s degree through Garden City Community College and used the articulation agreement between GCCC and Sterling College to apply all of her associate’s work toward a bachelor’s degree. She was able to earn her B.S. in Organizational Management in just two years with Sterling College Online.

Manifest Gallery in Cincinnati, Ohio, opened their 11th annual Rites of Passage exhibit on Sunday, featuring the work of Sterling College graduate Shelby Huber ’15 and 10 other artists from across the country. The exhibit was developed to support student excellence, promote young artists transitioning into their professional careers and bring together “positive creative energies of regional and national institutions.”

Sterling College Senior David Amador wanted to know if an Instagram profile full of selfies, or self-portraits, was beneficial to the user’s social status. Through a survey reviewing two hypothetical Instagram profiles, one that contained a variety of modest photos, or photos that were not self-promoting, and a second self-promoting profile of mostly selfies. Amador found students felt they would be more likely to be friends with the modest social media profile.
