Today, meet Jill Munro, Associate Director of Community Engagement at The College of Wooster, who says: "My mom moved to Wooster to become the principal of Beall Avenue in 1984. She believed strongly in the arts, and my siblings and I were exposed to many cultural gems in Cleveland from an early age. When I moved to Wooster and had my daughter, my mom made sure she was connected to WCA from a very young age, and they often took classes together.
