Returning to Wooster may in some ways be more difficult than your off-campus study experience. You may have developed in different directions than you expected, and you may wish for some help thinking about the implications of your experience on your personal, social, academic, and career life. If so, be sure to check out the Lilly Reintegration Dinners. It also helps to become involved with the IPO: come to the Returnee Dinner, submit a photo for the Returnee Photo Contest, or volunteer for an event sponsored by the IPO.

To avoid a $50 fine, you will need to fill out a program evaluation to help future students and the IPO in evaluating your program.

Off-Campus Study (OCS) Reintegration events include:
