Finding connection in learning showcased in Wooster Summer 2023 magazine
At The College of Wooster, finding connection in learning makes the experience meaningful in insightful ways that can shape not only what a student takes away from a learning experience but further, how they see their world and the opportunities in it for them. In Wooster magazine’s summer 2023 issue, travel the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail with a group of students learning about the rhetoric of the Civil Rights Movement. See how chemistry informs art conservation and how real work experiences magnify career interests. Learn about the dance elements in the honeybee waggle, the formation and classification of cave turnips, resilience through natural disasters, and the self-assembly of highly colored molecules from I.S. researchers excited about their topics. Through these stories, this issue illustrates how off-campus study, courses, internships, and I.S. research, expand students’ comprehension, perspective, and aptitude.
In addition to College news in Oak Grove, learn about the trends in study abroad in a conversation with Candace Chenoweth, director of off-campus study, and some of the things Christina Welsch, associate professor of the history of Britain and its empire, appreciates about her role at Wooster.
Tartan Ties features class notes and more than a dozen photos shared by alumni as well as recent alumni books. Sandeep Bhatia ’89, president of the Alumni Board, shares what volunteering with Wooster means to him, and Sheila Liming ’05 talks about her book, Hanging Out: The Radical Power of Killing Time, which was highlighted in The New York Times.
The online version of the summer 2023 edition of Wooster magazine is available here and past issues of the magazine are available in the Open Works repository.
