Hey Classmates,
We are thinking of you, and we hope you are all hanging in there. Classes at Ripon College started on Monday, August 30 and the academic year is in full swing with in-person classes. The College is continuing to follow CDC and Fond du Lac County Health Department guidelines regarding COVID safety protocols. We’ll write more in our spring Class Letter, but we wanted to take a quick moment to send a shout out to all of you, and to encourage you to stay safe and take care as we continue to get through this pandemic.

ELLY DAVIS ’15 of Middleton, Wisconsin, finally married the love of her life, Trevor Morris in front of their family and friends after waiting an extra year and postponing twice. The incredible bridal party included KAYLIE LONGLEY ’15, LEIGHANNE LACY ’15, her cousin, Dani Solem, and the Maid of Honor, her sister Gwen Davis. The highlight of the day was getting to see all the family and friends they’ve missed over the last year and a half! After the wedding, they vacationed in Saugatuck, Michigan and Chicago, Illinois. ELLY and Trevor currently reside in Middleton, Wisconsin with their two very spoiled cats, Slinky and Jax.
