Ripon College was founded in 1851, although its first class of students did not enroll until 1853. It was first known as '''Brockway College''', named for William S. Brockway, who gave the most, $25, in a fundraising effort.<ref name=pedrick>{{cite news|url=https://www.wisconsinhistory.org/Records/Newspaper/BA7958 |title=Why Brockway College changed its name |date=March 14, 1930 |author=Samuel M.

Ripon's first class, four women, graduated in June 1867.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.forbes.com/colleges/ripon-college/|title=Ripon College|work=Forbes|access-date=2018-06-04|language=en}}</ref> The college was founded with ties to local churches, but early in its history the institution became secular. In 1868 formal ties with [[Presbyterian]] and [[Congregational]] churches were cut, but Ripon would retain some ties to its religious past. During the nineteenth century students were required to attend two church services each Sunday. The first six presidents of Ripon College had clerical backgrounds, as did the previous president, David Joyce. Today the school offers classes in world religions, but there are no required religious courses, and students are not required to attend religious services. The college recognized social and academic Greek letter societies in 1924. The Ripon chapter of [[Phi Beta Kappa]] was started by Clark Kuebler, who served as president from 1944 to 1955.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ripon.edu/library/archives/ripon-college-presidents/|title=Ripon College Presidents {{!}} Ripon College|language=en-US|access-date=2019-06-28}}</ref>

The [[National Forensic League]] was founded at the college in 1925.

The college has seven residential dormitories with several sororities, including [[Alpha Chi Omega]], [[Alpha Delta Pi]], and [[Kappa Delta]]. The college has four all-male fraternities including chapters of [[Sigma Chi]], [[Theta Chi]], [[Phi Delta Theta]], and a local fraternity, Phi Kappa Pi, (named Merriman for the college's founding president). Students in all four fraternities live in dormitories on campus, following the recent removal of Phi Kappa Pi from Merriman House (demolished in 2021). Phi Kappa Pi was relocated to the Quad living area, with the other three fraternities, after the Merriman house was condemned and the board of Trustees determined that all students (unless exempted) should reside in residence halls. The three sororities live in one dorm, Johnson Hall, which includes independent and first year women.

Ripon College is a private liberal arts college in Ripon, Wisconsin. As of 2024, the college enrolled around 754 students. Nearly 80% of students were Wisconsin residents.[7]

History

Smith Hall.

Ripon College was founded in 1851, although its first class of students did not enroll until 1853. It was first known as Brockway College, named for William S. Brockway, who gave the most, $25, in a fundraising effort.[8]

Ripon's first class, four women, graduated in 1867.[9] The college was founded with ties to local churches, but early in its history the institution became secular. In 1868 formal ties with Presbyterian and Congregational churches were cut, but Ripon would retain some ties to its religious past. During the nineteenth century, students were required to attend two church services each Sunday. The first six presidents of Ripon College had clerical backgrounds. Today students are not required to attend religious services.[10]

The National Forensic League was founded at the college in 1925. Since that time communication has been an important subject at the college.[11]

Academics

Harwood Memorial Union.

Students may choose from 31 majors, a variety of pre-professional advising options and also opt to self-design a major. Off-campus study is highly encouraged; nearly one-third of all Ripon College students elect to spend a semester off-campus on a focused area of study.[12] Ripon has a student-to-faculty ratio of 14:1.[13]

Catalyst Curriculum

Students take five Catalyst courses that focus on solving real-world problems. The Catalyst curriculum consists of five seminars spread over three years. After completing the Catalyst curriculum, students receive a certificate in Applied Innovation. Ripon College provides a four-year graduation guarantee to all students who remain in good academic standing, declare a major course of study by the end of sophomore year, and follow an approved course plan.[14]

Associated Colleges of the Midwest

Ripon is a member of the Associated Colleges of the Midwest (ACM), a grouping of private liberal arts schools that share expertise and collaborate on off-campus study programs. The college is also affiliated with the Annapolis Group of private liberal arts colleges and is a member of the Council of Independent Colleges.[15]

Ripon College Peace Pole.

Center for Politics and the People

Todd Wehr Hall.

The Center for Politics and the People was established in spring 2014. The center sponsors scholarship and hosts special events featuring elected officials and policy makers, high-level campaign operatives, academic experts, journalists, prognosticators and citizens representing a spectrum of political views. The center also manages the college's annual Career Discovery Tour to Washington, D.C., and helps place students in internships.[16]

Center for Career and Professional Development

The Center for Career and Professional Development offers resources to students such as workshops, employer visits, job fairs, and assistance with writing a resume. It also helps organize the annual Career Discovery Tour.[17]

Summer Opportunity for Advanced Research (SOAR)

SOAR is a program offered to students of various disciplines to research alongside professors over the summer while living on campus and partaking in volunteer projects around the local community. It was first offered in summer 2021.[18]

Badger Boys State

From 1941 to 2019, the college served as the host site for Badger Boys State, a summer leadership and citizenship program for more than 800 Wisconsin high school juniors that focuses on exploring the mechanics of American government and politics.[19][20][21]

Arts

The college's C.J. Rodman Center for the Arts houses the Departments of Art, Music, and Theater.[22]

Visual art

The Art Department manages two gallery spaces, one of which is dedicated to student work and the other to art more broadly. Work by students and professional artists is also shown across campus. A sculpture garden is located adjacent to the building. Two art works of note in the permanent collection of the college are life-size portraits by Anthony van Dyck of Princess Amalia of the House of Orange and Sir Roger Townshend. The Classics department also manages a collection of classical Greek and Roman artifacts, many of which are displayed in the campus library.[22]

Music

The college has a music department which offers classes, lessons, and ensembles. Students of any major may participate in the music department and are eligible for music scholarships. The department offers the following ensembles: Orchestra, Symphonic Wind Ensemble, Rally Band, Jazz Ensemble, and three choirs (Chamber Singers, Choral Union, and Concert Choir).[23] All musical ensembles, with the exception of Chamber Singers, are open to students, faculty and staff, and community members to join without auditioning. All musical performances by campus groups are free to students and the public. The program also hosts visiting musicians each semester, and performances are free to all students.[22]

Theater

The college's theater program produces three productions per year, with students from any major encouraged to act or be involved with set, costume, and makeup design. Each theater major directs a one-act production their senior year, as part of a campus theater festival. Students regularly participate in the Region III Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. All theatrical events are free to students and the public.[24]

Sustainability and the environment

Sustainability initiatives

Ripon College attempts to be a sustainable institution. It has a fleet of campus hybrid vehicles, a recycling program, and uses energy efficient light bulbs.[25]

Ceresco Prairie Conservancy

The college is home to the Ceresco Prairie Conservancy, consisting of 130 acres (53 ha) of native prairie, oak savanna, and wetland habitat in the making. The Ceresco Prairie Conservancy is used by different classes in a number of different disciplines.[26] Trails for walking and snowshoeing throughout this area connect to a municipally run older growth woods nature park, the South Woods.

Environmental activism by students and faculty

A student group, EGOR: The Environmental Group of Ripon, focuses on awareness of environmental issues and contributes to the restoration and preservation of the prairie.

Environmental Studies major

Students can also major in environmental studies, which is an interdisciplinary program.[27]

Media

  • College Days – a monthly newspaper, published both in print and digitally[28]
  • WRPN-FM – a campus radio station with digital broadcasts
  • RCTV – a television production group (defunct as of Fall 2022)
  • Parallax – a literary magazine[29]
  • Crimson – yearbook that was formerly distributed every spring. The last issue was published in the spring of 2017.

Student life

Clubs

There are over 60 student clubs on campus, including special interest groups, diversity-based groups, political groups, Greek organizations, and academic honor societies.[30] There is also a Student Senate, a student government that is open to all students to discuss issues and vote on different matters.[31][32]

Greek life

A side view of Johnson Hall

The college has several sorority chapters and fraternities.[33]

Diversity

People of color compose 16.9% of the student population.[34] The McNair Scholars program supports first generation college students and African American, Native American, and Hispanic students who wish to attend graduate school.[35] The Center for Diversity and Inclusion (CDI), inaugurated in 2015, is a space on campus that centers diversity, including programming such as multicultural events.[36] Student groups that focus on the experiences of racially diverse, culturally diverse, and LGBT students are also active on campus, and are part of a wider Diversity Coalition through the CDI.[37]
