Sarah Jane Stafford Sims (born 1967) is the chairman of the Division of Humanities and an English professor at the Southern Baptist-affiliated Campbellsville University in Campbellsville in Taylor County in central Kentucky.
Sims is the younger of two daughters of Kenneth Myrl Stafford (1920-1999) and the former Effie Hatter (1921-2007), who resided in Yosemite in Casey County in central Kentucky. The parents are interred at Middleburg Cemetery in Casey County.[1]
Sarah Sims studied at Campbellsville College, as the institution was formerly known. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in 1989. In 1990, she received a Master of Arts from Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond. She joined the Campbellsville faculty in 1993; in 2003, she completed her Ph.D. from the University of Kentucky at Lexington. Sims attributed the guidance of her professor and future colleague Robert Doty, who first approached her about entering a Ph.D. program. "Every class I teach includes material I learned from him. So much of the best of what I know and do, I owe to him. Dr. Doty was an intellectual giant and irreplaceable mentor and friend. To have worked and studied with him is an immense blessing."[2]
In 2013, she received the annual CU Challenger Award; in 2017, she received the "Distinguished Faculty Award," a prize that she said she did not deserve.[3]
Donna Hedgepath, the CU provost and vice president for academic affairs, said that Sims "has a servant's heart in every way - toward students, colleagues, family, and friends. ... She spends the majority of her office hours with students, helping then with their writing or just offering support."[3]
In 2011, Sarah Stafford wed Ronald Dale Sims, a son of the late Willard and Violet Sims, at the Mount Olive First Christian Church in Yosemite, where the couple resides.[4]
