“I’ve always loved music. I’ve always loved to participate. I’m not a music major so I don’t practice every day, but I do play the saxophone as a member of Ripon’s Jazz Ensemble and Symphonic Wind Ensemble.”

Ripon College offers all students the opportunity to grow as performers and artists regardless of their major.

Students — as well as faculty, staff and community members — may participate in any number of music ensembles. The Theatre Department also welcomes all students to audition for roles on stage or behind it.

Fine arts scholarships ranging from $1,000-$5,000 are a ailable to students with talents in art, music, drama and forensics — e en to those students not planning to major or minor in these areas.

“In my spare time, I participate in the Ultimate Frisbee Club. We meet two days a week in different spots on campus. It is a friendly club — everyone is welcome even if you’re not the most athletic. I’ve certainly gotten much better at Frisbee and gained a lot of friends along the way.”

“I really enjoy all the interaction I get, not only with members o the campus community but also in Ripon itsel . Just everyone I’ve met around town is abulous. I haven’t met a grumpy person yet.”

“It is said that Ripon College has a richly personalized education, and I think that is definitely the case. As a student, you get very neat interactions with other students and the faculty and staff on campus. The collaboration is just incredible. Everyone takes an interest in you, your education and what you want to do with your life.”

Mitchell presented his research on “Modeling Monopoly with Monte Carlo Simulations” at the spring 2014 meeting o the Wisconsin Math Association o America.

He talks about this research at ripon.edu/monopoly

“As a math major, I get to spend a lot of time with Professor Andrea Young.

She is ery spontaneous, being an impro comedian on the side. She brings a lot of e citement to the classroom and is ery passionate.”

“I love the act that Ripon College is such a small campus. The best part is that you really get to know the other students. You pass by each other on the sidewalk and you have seen them be ore so you say ‘hi’ and hold the door open or each other. It’s just a very riendly atmosphere here.”

OUr fAcUlty “Ripon’s small-college environment lets instructors and students interact with each other in a really personal way – both inside and outside of the classroom. We get to know our students individually and know what their interests are. We can sense when something is going wrong in their lives, but also when things are going well.”

o Ripon College classes have ewer than 20 students.

“Our physics and preengineering students are able to approach problems in a more creative way and see things rom lots o di erent perspectives.

O tentimes, companies or graduate schools are very excited about our students because they understand the same basic principles o an engineer but can come up with new solutions.”

kNOP ScHOlArSHiP Students studying science may be eligible for a prestigious four-year, full-tuition scholarship thanks to the late Harry W. Knop Jr., Ripon College Class of 1942. In addition to recognizing and supporting students who plan to major in the field of natural science or mathematics, the Knop Scholars Program supports student and adviser summer research and students’off-campus educational opportunities.

teCHniCal diReCtOR, designeR, tRiatHlete “I’m primarily a scenic designer with a secondary emphasis on lighting design. The two, of course, go together. I learned traditional methods of scene design, but I try to keep up with cutting-edge technology. I do sort of a combination of the two.

While I do 3D modeling, I still draw things by hand.”

did yOU kNOw? Se en-time Grammy Award winner Al Jarreau and big-time Hollywood actor Harrison Ford both attended Ripon College? Scholarships of up to $5,000 per year are a ailable to students who participate in the fine arts.

Dalziel competes in triathlons and aims at competing in Ironman World Championships “One advantage of a small school like Ripon College, especially in the Theatre Department, is that we rely heavily on students to help us run our production season. Students may get opportunities that are simply unavailable at larger institutions. At Ripon, our undergraduates get design work, they get acting roles. … Freshman can get on stage right from the get-go. We welcome everyone from day 1.”

Ripon College is widely recognized as an institution that fosters student research and scholarship. We’d like to think this tradition is a major reason why our students excel so quickly upon graduating.

Our intentionally small size and 100-percent dedication to undergraduate education allows faculty the flexibility necessary to connect with you as mentors, teachers, collaborators and colleagues.

Ripon College students working with faculty in chemistry and biology have contributed to major research undertakings sponsored by the National Science Foundation, American Chemical Society and more, and have had their work featured in Nature Protocols Exchange and other publications. Their work has extraordinary variety, everything from the process of creating new biodegradable plastics to exploring the energy potential of a termite’s gut.

Students in the humanities regularly travel to literature, classics, drama, politics and government and other conferences to present the work they’ve undertaken at Ripon College. Over the past year alone, a number of students have had their work published, and a group of history majors even had a book published in 2014.

athletics Ripon College athletes are — first and foremost — dedicated and talented students.

Student-athletes at Ripon play their sport for the love of the game, not for the money. As a Division III NCAA school, many of our student-athletes have earned scholarships as a result of their success in the classroom; and 98 percent of them receive financial aid to attend Ripon.

Division III student-athletes, like ours at Ripon, have the highest graduation rates of the NCAA’s three divisions, and they regularly outpace non-athletes in the completion of degrees. Ripon believes athletics are an integral part of our students’ educational experience.

That is why athletics at Ripon are referred to as co-curricular — not extracurricular — activities.

Jonathan Muras as ’78 Professor, Pediatrics & OB/Gyn, Loyola University Medical Center

For the past three years, Ripon College has maintained a 100 percent placement rate for graduates see ing acceptance to medical school. Our long-term a erage medical school placement rate is around 80 percent – twice the national a erage.
