2013 Fall ’23 Class Letter

In the last year, I (LAUREN OTT GREENE ’13) have changed jobs (still at Macalester), started a business plan, learned more about plants and watersheds than a communication major ought, and last November married KYLE GREENE ’15 on our tenth anniversary of our first ADPi formal.

Something you may not know about me is that I am a third-generation legacy at Ripon. In this photo on my left is my dad, BOB OTT ’84. I feel extremely lucky to call all these people my family, and to share my chosen family with my given family. (Although, my dad would tell you that they for sure out partied us in the 80s….)

Something I am excited to share is a photo from my wedding to Kyle, last fall. Not only am I thankful for Ripon and the time I had, but for all of these beautiful people (plus more) who are foundational in my life.

Anyways, be well and stay in touch! If you’re in the Twin Cities, hit me up. I would love to walk, hike, bike, paddle, whatever with you.
