We are thrilled to present once again the Independent Study Symposium as members of the senior class have the opportunity to present their Independent Study projects to their classmates, families, alumni, and the Wooster community. Seniors will have the choice to participate in an in-person symposium on Friday, May 1 and have their I.S. projects displayed on their own personal web pages on wooster.edu in an online symposium (view the 2025 Symposium).
