Scot Saturdays
Wooster students take charge of your visit experience by leading an extended campus tour of some popular spots on campus including classrooms, the new Scot Center athletic facility, our Collaborative Research Environment and APEX, Wooster's hub for academic, internship and career advising. The day includes complimentary lunch and the opportunity to interact with nearly a dozen, diverse current students. This program is ideal for first-time visitors looking for a general introduction from the student perspective, and admissions staff will be on-hand to answer your questions.
We welcome all Scot Saturday guests to partake in all that Wooster has to offer: have lunch in the dining hall, attend an athletic event, visit our art museum, or take advantage of the various events occuring on campus.
