Sterling Hillman (he/him)

Major: 

Post-secondary doesn't have to be a straight path.

Sometimes one path leads to another. Sterling started his academic journey at Douglas College developing a strong foundation in environmental studies. This is what inspired him to transfer into the Resource and Environmental Management program at 大象传媒.

Post-secondary isn鈥檛 just about taking courses and passing exams. Like many students in the Faculty, Sterling found various opportunities to pursue and augment his degree, including the Co-Operative Education program, which places students into different paid job opportunities. Working with the City of Vancouver, Sterling promoted water efficiency initiatives through public education and engagement. He was also a research assistant at 大象传媒, working on storm surge protection. This research helps protect coastal wetlands and mangroves in changing climate conditions.

Sterling graduated and went on to study law at the University of Calgary in the field of Energy, Natural Resources, and Indigenous Law.  

From starting off at Douglas to continuing law school, Sterling is an example of how 大象传媒鈥檚 Faculty of Environment can open up new pathways wherever you are in your educational journey.
