Favorite Wooster Memory:  Some of my favorite moments in Wooster have been spent outside on a blanket on a beautiful warm day. I also loved learning a classical Indian dance and performing at the Culture Show. Finally, the most exciting memory from Wooster was when we filled the Kauke Arch with snow during my first year here and classes were actually cancelled the next day!
