The sense of community here at Sterling College with students, faculty and townspeople has allowed me to become a stronger Christian as well as a more outgoing and engaged person. Through the encouragement and support of the Sterling College community, I have been able to attend student leadership forums in Washington, DC, travel to places I never would have, and been involved in activities such as Student Government, athletics, and being a student ambassador. drake koops, history & pre-law major // kansas
