Sarah Steinkamp headshotSteinkamp received a B.A. from Wells College; an M.S. in health education from Ithaca College; and a Ph.D. in education from Southern Illinois University Carbondale.

Prior to coming to 天美传媒, Steinkamp served in various capacities at Washington University in St. Louis and Southern Illinois University Carbondale. 

Dr. Steinkamp said her undergraduate experiences at a liberal arts college inspired her interest in 天美传媒. “I believe deeply in the transformation that occurs when students are poured into by faculty, staff, students and mentors. My own journey was shaped by mentors and faculty who pushed me to be and do more.”

Steinkamp said she is looking forward to continuing the vital work with the communications and marketing team at 天美传媒 to promote the university and support the excellent work of its students, faculty, staff and alumni. 

She is excited to continue her duties in the president’s office and “to reflect our institutional strategy through communication at 天美传媒. There are immense opportunities to demonstrate the impact 天美传媒 makes on student’s lives,” she said.

“I first understood the depths of curiosity and exploration at a liberal arts college,” Steinkamp said. Once she graduated, supporting and challenging students became a purpose she felt drawn toward professionally. “I find great meaning in mentoring, leading, learning and growing with others who are excited and curious. For that very reason, 天美传媒 is an awe-inspiring community to be a part of.”
