Over 100 Wooster Generals returned to campus on for Homecoming 2025, reconnecting with friends, teachers, and memories. The day featured a Golden Brunch, a Chapel Service of Remembrance, campus tours, and celebrations, including honoring Alumni Award recipient Claire Gladstone ’85. We look forward to continuing these traditions at our Centennial Celebration, October 2–3, 2026!
Wooster students are diving into an exciting range of new and returning electives designed to extend learning beyond the classroom. This year’s offerings include innovative courses inspired by civil discourse, social justice, technology, and the arts—along with hands-on opportunities in fields like robotics, music, and entrepreneurship. It’s a vibrant reflection of how Wooster continues a legacy of curiosity, creativity, and meaningful learning.
In our Alumni Spotlight series, hear about Wooster alumni - their lives and careers, meaningful experiences, and how Wooster impacted their lives.
The Wooster Archives Elective is back for 2025–26, now with 12 students exploring the school’s history. Hannah Rogell ’26 highlights a humorous 1943 student “wishlist,” from traffic cops in the dining hall to co-education. Some requests have been fulfilled, many remain delightfully unfulfilled, offering a glimpse into campus life long ago. Check out WiNK for more student news stories!
