'''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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://old.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=21166640|title=Kennethy Myrl Stafford|publisher=old.findagrave.com|accessdate=December 22, 2017}}</ref>
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. 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.<ref name=campbellsvillian>Josh Christian, "Dr. Sarah Stafford Sims receives the Distinguished Faculty Award from Campbellsville University," ''Campbellsvillian: The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of Campbellsville University,'' Vol. 15 (2017), 12.</ref>
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."<ref name=campbellsvillian/>
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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.caseynews.net/content/engagement-stafford-sims|title=Engagement: Stafford-Sims|publisher=Caseynews.net|date=May 17, 2011|accessdate=December 22, 2017}}</ref>
