- Over our 40 years, the Class of 1983 has provided immense support to Ripon College. Let’s continue that tradition and also focus on increasing our class participation to meet or beat 40%. Donations of any amount assist in supporting the amazing work of the College. To kick off our class giving opportunity, there is a special giving event, Apr. 20-23, coinciding with the inauguration of Ripon’s 14th President, Victoria N. Folse, and celebrating the exciting momentum happening within our campus community. This event will be an extension of the #OneDayRally brand and experience. Stay tuned for more information. We look forward to your participation!
