Benefactors
Ripon College names these alumni and friends as Ripon College Benefactors in recognition of their lifetime philanthropy and significant gifts.
Their philanthropic efforts have played a pivotal role in the life of the College since its founding in 1851.
The generosity of these Benefactors continues to assist generations of students and to enhance the liberal arts and sciences mission and financial stability of Ripon College.
We gratefully acknowledge and thank them for their altruism and tradition of caring for the College community.
