Wooster Magazine: Summer 2024
In the summer 2024 issue of Wooster magazine students and alumni share what inspired their capstone scholarship at Wooster and where it led them. Wooster’s signature Independent Study capstone program unites Wooster seniors and alumni in an achievement that confers upon them a sense of honor and confidence to carry with them throughout their professional lives. Inspired with research questions and topics meaningful to them, students design a project, research study, or artistic invention to solve a problem, express an idea, and create new knowledge in their own field. For some students, I.S. uncovers a wonder and eagerness to further their study in the area. This issue not only showcases some of the wonders explored by the Class of 2024 but also shares the stories of alumni who built upon the foundation of their I.S. for ongoing research, professional work, and everyday inspiration.
This issue additionally highlights this year’s commencement celebration, a culminating event that welcomed more than 3,700 people to celebrate Wooster’s newest alumni. The Oak Grove section also includes congratulations and thanks to this year’s retiring faculty and staff, the story behind the Reimer Endowed Scholarship established by Don Kohn ’64, and the latest College news and achievements of faculty, staff, and students. Tartan Ties features photos from the Wooster on the Move event series with President Anne McCall, and “Scot Volunteer” with Betsy O’Brien Anderson ’94.
