Worthy Questions helps College of Wooster students explore important life questions. The program is sponsored by Religious & Spiritual Life but is not affiliated with a particular religious tradition. Worthy Questions students (Questers) and their Mentors are committed to supporting and learning from each other as they seek to investigate and integrate values, beliefs, and decision-making in the personal, professional, and spiritual dimensions of their lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What Students Are Saying<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve met a lot of different people and learned a lot. Without this experience, my outlook going into next year would probably have been a lot more mundane and uninspiring.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHad I not been a part of Worthy Questions I would not be as adamant about putting my values into action in the next year and after college.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy mentor has exerted a very soothing experience on this semester. It was great to have one hour where you just escaped the rush of everyday life and just sat down and talked.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve shared some of what I\u2019ve learned with my friends and family \u2013 some interesting insights not only for me but for people I am close to.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
