BENEFACTORSA Lifetime of Philanthropy F

Fourteen plaques have been added to the Ripon College Benefactors wall of the Dahm Heritage Room in the S.N. Pickard Commons. The additions bring to 50 the number of Benefactors, the college’s highest donor-recognition level.

The Benefactors recognize alumni and friends for their lifetime philanthropy and significant gifts. The plaque which honors the Benefactors, says “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 mission and financial stability of Ripon College. We gratefully acknowledge and thank them for their altruism and tradition of caring for the college community.”

Ripon President David C. Joyce notes, “We are eternally grateful to these people who have shared of their resources to first establish this fine institution and now to help sustain it and to help build its future. The College is forever indebted to these individuals.”

The 14 new Benefactors were added to the 36 charter members of the Benefactors who were named in 1995.
