Keeping with tradition, Sterling College welcomed students back with the annual Keynote Convocation held on the first Friday of the semester, Aug. 26. Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs Spencer Wagley spoke to students at the address, asking them to consider what happens in life when their plans do not work out.

“We like our plans to come together. What happens when things are not that smooth? What happens when things begin to totally fall apart like a Nature Valley granola bar? When your direction totally changes?” asked Wagley.
