I made my gift in honor of my friends, Bailey, Ellen, Lauren, Noel, and Stefany. My I.S. wouldn't have been the same without your continuous support and encouragement. I am so glad Holden Hall brought us together!

Thank you for being a great advisor Dr. Furey! I remember you coming to my dorm parking lot in the middle of spring break for one final IS meeting so that could get my project completed!

Shoutout to the history department, especially Dr. J, for making my experiences at Wooster wonderful and helping me make it to the Arch with an I.S. that I could be proud of!

I would not have been able to complete my I.S. without support from the Copeland Fund. My trip to the national archives in Scotland was pivotal in my research and access to primary resources. The generosity of the College in assisting students with their research goals is what really helps our Independent Study projects stand apart.

I'm so grateful for the care & support I received from many individuals at Wooster. I especially want to thank Stephanie Strand and Krista Martin--two women that I consider my mentors and who helped me to cross the finISh line. Thank you for everything!

I made my gift in honor of Coach Sarah Davis and the #WooVB ladies who I had the honor to play and grow with over my 4 years at Wooster, many of whom remain my closest friends to this day. It was always about more than volleyball, that's the beauty of Division III. We are better daughters, friends, moms, spouses, and coworkers because of our experiences on and off the court. Go Scots!

The two faculty who had the most positive effect on my experience at Woo are still there 20 years later! I think that is a testament to the excellent academic environment and high caliber professors Wooster cultivates and supports, which translates to a top notch education for students...

I made my gift in honor of Cassie Pangas '08 - we wouldn't have survived IS without each other and I continue to be thankful for the friendship we created at Wooster.

Dr Yvonne Williams did a fantastic job of helping me research and write my project.  I also remember meeting her husband Ted one Saturday morning when I toured as a high school student. He spent a solid hour with my dad and I discussing the school. They both made noteworthy influences on my life and education. Tom Litzler 81

Dr. Cropp was a friend to so many. He rescued me when I was drowning in Senior IS. I gave all kinds of reasons. He gave me an opportunity. I stayed at his house with his family for several days until I completed my work. I got HONORS for my work! Thank you

A sincere and heartfelt thank you to Professors Mariola and Tierney for their mentorship throughout my time at Wooster with APEX Fellowships, general academics, and IS. There are very few people who would’ve bet on the 19 year old at a school in Ohio wanting to obsessively study Italian wine but you did and here I am now - importing Italian wine. Thank you. I can confidently say that am who I am and where I am today because of you and the belief you had in me to pursue my dreams.

“Invest in the millennium. Plant sequoias.

Say that your main crop is the forest

that you did not plant,

that you will not live to harvest.

Say that the leaves are harvested

when they have rotted into the mold.

Call that profit. Prophesy such returns.

Put your faith in the two inches of humus

that will build under the trees

every thousand years.” - Wendell Berry, Manifesto: Mad Farmer’s Liberation Front.

Thank you for planting sequoias and permitting me the privilege to be a part of your forests.

My sincerest gratitude goes to Drs. Kille and Krain who defined my International Relations experience and are the foundation for my professional success. I cannot thank you enough.

For Professor Hustwit. Though he was not my advisor, and I was not even a philosophy major, he once scolded me for standing around wasting time when I needed to finish my I.S.

Thank you Kent Kille and Jeff Lantis!

Thanks to Dr. Goldberg! Without your support and tireless help, I wouldn’t have made it to the Arch, let alone have been able to follow in your footsteps and be the Pediatric Audiologist that I am today! Thanks for everything you did/do!!
