Description

The summer 2025 issue of Wooster magazine celebrates the shared experience of Independent Study, showcasing stand-out projects from the Class of 2025 and how The College of Wooster community supported them along their journey. Students featured include history major Zach Perrier, biology major Lydia Crane, economics major Ignacia Méndez, and statistical and data sciences major Laurel Andrews. Inspired by an off-campus study and experiential learning opportunity in Guatemala, four archaeology seniors found I.S. topics connected to their shared research journey. Alumni Sarah Wilds ’97, CEO of augmentative and alternative device company PRC-Saltillo; Donald Dennis ’86, executive vice president and community development director at Huntington National Bank in Columbus; and Don Allman ’74, a top executive in the outdoor advertising industry; share what leadership means to them and how Wooster helped prepare them to be leaders in their fields. Oak Grove highlights a $6 million gift toward residential excellence from Doon Foster ’80 and her husband, John, and the election of Mark Goodman ’90 as chair of the Wooster Board of Trustees. The section also includes “Mentoring Matchup” with Paul Edmiston, Theron L. Peterson and Dorothy R. Peterson Professor of Chemistry, and Bruna Jatoba ’27, chemistry major, and Head Softball Coach Victoria Rumph takes readers inside her field office. In “Fulfilling Promises,” see how the Fern Valley Field Station, given by Betty Crooks Wilkin ’64 and David Wilkin, emeritus professor of French, has supported creative and distinctive research opportunities for students from a variety of majors. In addition to class notes, Tartan Ties features an author profile with Samrat Upadhyay, and volunteer highlight with Angie Triplett ’06.
