1 A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT elcome to the 2017 Ripon College baseball season. Visiting Ripon in person is the best way to experience what this private liberal arts and sciences college in Wisconsin has to Woffer. Ripon’s residential atmosphere and the learning that occurs here – both in and out of the classrooms – makes it a true learning community. Community defines Ripon. Our personal approach to education, student/faculty relationships, small classes, residential nature and liberal arts and sciences focus all help set us apart, but none of it works without a town that supports the College and a college that supports the town. Our mission statement includes a commitment to a “richly personalized education.” At Ripon, that means a degree of faculty and staff interaction beyond our students expectations. It means students designing their own major, or working side-by-side with a professor on a research project. It means getting involved with people who share similar interests, or starting a new organization. Above all, our students know they have a high degree of flexibility and choice throughout their college journey with us. I was first attracted to Ripon because of its strong national academic reputation and its adherence to and constant focus on the relevance of a liberal arts and sciences education. I was won over by the people I met here, and I think you will be, too. Nothing can compare to setting foot on our beautiful and historic campus. Come sit in on a class, experience a play, enjoy a recital or thrill to an athletic competition. Our door is open. We welcome you.
Go Red Hawks!

Ripon College is excited to announce a capital campaign to signifi cantly renovate and expand its athletic, health and wellness facilities to accommodate all students who wish to compete as a scholar-athlete or focus on their per- sonal health and wellness. Plans for the new facilities include a signature building with academic, fi tness and hangout spaces; room to accommodate offi ces for the coaching staff ; enhanced studio, cardio and gym spaces; and room for varsity athletics and intramural sports, among other enhancements. Ripon College athletics and intramural/club sports have enjoyed a long and proud tradition of excellence spanning more than 100 years, during which countless men and women have graced us with their talent and competitive spirit. This renovation and expansion project began in May of 2016 and will be completed in August of 2017. 6 2017 ROSTER # NAME POS. B/T HT. WT. YR.
