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. 

David Earle, vice president for advancement and alumni relations, will present a reflection on Sterling College’s heritage and enduring impact on the community and beyond. During this special presentation, Earle will share stories from the College’s past and celebrate how Sterling continues to shape future leaders in line with its Christian mission.

In addition to the Heritage Chapel, attendees are invited to wear Sterling apparel and enjoy the spirit of the day by engaging with the campus community. Founders Day celebrates not only the College’s history but also the ongoing contributions of students, faculty, and alumni who advance its mission every day.

The event coincides with Giving Day 2024, another momentous occasion for Sterling College. As part of the celebration, the College encourages alumni and supporters to participate in both events by giving, sharing their Sterling stories, and wearing their Sterling gear with pride.
