The College of Wooster (C.O.W.) is known for it's undergraduate mentored research, specifically in the form of Independent study or I.S. Every year C.O.W. seniors complete their own I.S., a year-long research project of a topic of their choosing. I.S. is meant to represent the culmination of the student's four-year academic journey, showcasing each student's independent skills they have fostered. When students submit their I.S. they receive a sweet treat for all their hard work, a tootsie roll! Impressively, all students submit their I.S. before or on I.S. Monday. Thus making it a day of celebration.
Attended Emma's and Alix's I.S. submissions!
Scroll through for a glimpse into I.S. Monday and my own submission (I submitted with Wooster bestie Lucy)!
My own I.S. was a passion project and is my greatest accomplishment in my life thus far. Inspired by my Social Justice Fellowship at a local free-meal site, my I.S. combined ethnographic and biological research to acquire a comprehension of the factors leading to food injustice, inadequate nutrition, and consequential maladies.
