Professor Alex Sterling has an MA in philosophy from Purdue University and an MA in English from Cal State East Bay. He has been a full-time member of the LMC English department since 2006. Alex has an adorable family—wife Julianne, and two boys, Jasper and Adlai—with whom of late he can be seen shouting from the couch while watching the Golden State Warriors.

Professor Jennifer Saito is the founder and director of the LMC Honors Program and teaches in three departments: mathematics, philosophy and humanities. Inspired by philosopher Alain de Botton, she’s particularly interested in helping students figure out how to live, not just how to make a living. In her spare time Jennifer hikes in the Sierras, sings Balkan music and attends Alfred Hitchcock film festivals with her teenage girls. Honors Courses Fall 2016
