Testimonies from Doctoral Candidates

Throughout our initial conversation, it was clear that Dr. Sterne was personable, knowledgeable, and undaunted by the challenge before us. Her communications were clear, direct, and thought-provoking. I could not have asked for a better experience in spite of the time constraints I was faced with.

My experience with Dr. Sterne has been so positive that we have already begun brainstorming about potential themes/topics for further publication.

Moreover, her rich spiritual presence enlivened our work together and sparked the path to even more creativity by way of future articles and publication experiences. I look forward to our continuing experiences. It was truly a blessing to have met Dr. Sterne and experienced her professionalism, knowledge, creativity, sense of being, and laughter.  –M.

My chair asked for my permission to share my dissertation with doctoral candidates.  I was humbly honored and gave her my consent, of course.  She said she is very selective about the “masterpieces” (her word) she chooses to share with candidates. Two University librarians told me last week that students had already inquired about my dissertation at the circulation desk. With much gratitude. –G. H., Florida
