Beginning on Thursday, Oct. 6, alumni will travel back to Sterling College to experience the Homecoming 2022 festivities, many of which the community is invited to attend. 

On Thursday, Sterling College Theatre will present the opening of Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” in Culbertson Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Registration, tickets and additional information for all Homecoming events can be found at sterling.edu/homecoming.

The ever-popular holiday movie “White Christmas” is well-loved for three main things: its warm-hearted story, the wonderful Irving Berlin songs, and the dancing which includes tap, jazz, and ballroom. It’s also been called “a costume extravaganza” and with good reason – there are over 300 costumes in the show. 

Sterling College Music Theatre will present Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas” this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, October 6, 7, and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and on Sunday, October 9 at 2 p.m. in Culbertson Auditorium on the Sterling College campus. 

Taking a beloved movie musical and bringing it to life on the stage is a challenge. Such was the case when adapters created Irving Berlin’s White Christmas which will be staged by Sterling College Music Theatre on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, October 6, 7, and 8 at 7:30 p.m. and at 2 p.m. on Sunday, October 9.

The Sterling College Criminal Justice program will host Anthony W. Mattivi, retired Assistant US Attorney, for its keynote lecture on Thursday, October 6. The College will host Mattivi at 7 p.m. in Heritage Hall in Cooper Hall. The public is invited to attend this free event.

“Mr. Mattavi has a wealth of experience as a federal prosecutor, including some very interesting high-profile cases. I’m excited for our students to get to hear Tony’s presentation,” said Dr. Mark Tremaine, associate professor of criminal justice.
