Dr. Jodi A. Sterle holds the Harman Endowed Professorship in Undergraduate Teaching and Learning in the Department of Animal Science at Iowa State University. Known to be tough but fair, Dr. Sterle simply loves to teach! From introductory courses to rigorous discipline-based courses such as reproductive physiology, and from contemporary issues courses to a course on the art and history of livestock, Dr. Sterle has impacted thousands of students in a variety of subjects. Believing that much of a student’s education occurs outside of the classroom, Dr. Sterle advises several student clubs and has led eight international travel courses, including the United Kingdom, South Korea, France/Italy and Portugal. No matter the enrollment, she takes the time to make every student feel connected. To date, Sterle has taught 13,048 students in 120 course offerings throughout her career.
