Abstract

This Independent Study is looking at my family history at The College of Wooster. This project is built on seven interviews done by me, of the seven family members that went to Wooster who are still living. My great grandmother and grandparents are included but have passed away. My family kept coming back to Wooster for college, and this Independent Study is going to examine the reasons for why that is the case. It is more than just family and more than just college. Factors like Independent Study, professors, courses, and thinking of the future and proximity play a role. There are multiple reasons that now eleven of us have gone to The College of Wooster. The legacy of the family will be seen throughout the project, and certain questions will be answered. Growth as a human being, the liberal arts experience and family will connect everything as to why The College of Wooster is the second home of my family.
