Description

The fall 2026 issue of Wooster magazine explores how experiences beyond the classroom help students connect their interests with meaningful vocations after graduation. Features examine original scientific research through nationally recognized programs, internships and consulting experiences that connect students with opportunities in health care, musical theatre, and community organizations, and faculty-led TREKs exploring globalization, culture, and career opportunities in Japan and climate justice in Fiji and Tuvalu. The issue also shares how a connection between Nobel laureate Arthur Compton, Class of 1913, and Victor Andrew, Class of 1926, inspired a generous gift from the Andrew family supporting the renovation of Compton Hall. Oak Grove features “Why I Play” with swimmer and neuroscience and Spanish major Rachel Frank ’27, “Why Wooster” with incoming football player Jack Kopachy ’30, and “Mentoring Matchup” with archaeology major Anna Hovest ’27 and Ricardo Higelin Ponce de León, assistant professor of archaeology and anthropology. Additional news stories cover the arrival of the incoming Class of 2030 and highlight donor support in the 2025-26 fiscal year. Tartan Ties highlights alumni volunteer Cheryl Trautmann Boop ’85, profiles author Robyn Drothler ’95, and celebrates Reunion Weekend.
