Ripon College is a private undergraduate liberal arts and sciences college located in the historic town of Ripon, Wisconsin. Founded in 1851 by Former New York State Legislator David Mapes and townspeople, the College has a long tradition of excellence in facilitating transformational interdisciplinary learning within its beautiful century-old buildings and in communities near and far. The intentionally small residential campus enrolls some 1,000 bright, high-achieving young men and women from nearly every state and from countries around the world. For more than 150 years, the College and the City of Ripon have forged such a strong bond that the 2007 Princeton Review ranked Ripon fourth in the nation for town-gown relations.

Willmore Center is the main health and wellness facility on campus and houses the athletics and exercise science departments. Named for alumna and Honorary Life Trustee Dena G. Willmore, the center opened in August 2017 after a $22 million renovation and expansion.

Located on the corner of Union and Thorne streets, Willmore Center houses the Kermit “Doc” Weiske ’50 Gymnasium and the John M. Kohler Swimming Pool. Weiske was Ripon’s first All-Conference basketball player, earning First Team honors three times from 1948-50. He went on to become Ripon’s head men’s basketball coach for 16 years, winning five Midwest Conference championships and compiling a career record of 203-148. Kohler had been a trustee and benefactor of the College. He was active in the Forward Thrust Campaign, which provided funds to build the athletics structure that later was expanded into Willmore Center.

Also within Willmore Center are three fitness studios, a weight room and a cardio balcony.

The new field house is home to Ripon’s indoor track and field teams. The 65,000-square-foot area features the Doug and Audrey Lyke Memorial Track, an NCAA-regulation track for pit and field events, and four multipurpose performance courts named for Ron ’70 and Loretta Law Peterson. The courts include netting for competition basketball, volleyball and tennis. The straightaway on the track is named for former coach and standout track star Daniel R. Sutter ’01.

As one of the first historical societies in the State of Wisconsin, the Ripon Historical Society is well established. In 1899, out of a concern to preserve the early history and development of Ripon and the Wisconsin Phalanx, the Ripon Historical Society was founded. Its charter members branched out to gather historical records and artifacts wherever possible and to write the stories of the prominent men, women and events before all recollections were gone or forgotten.

Just north of Rosendale, WI, in Fond du Lac County, an industrial dairy milks 8,300 head of dairy cows. The sheer scale of Rosendale Dairy is unprecedented in Wisconsin. The factory farm produces and stores over 90 million gallons of manure and wastewater each year; only the cities of Milwaukee and Madison produce more biological waste. Yet unlike these cities, the dairy stores the untreated manure in open lagoons before spreading it – still untreated – on area cropland. Additional impacts from the dairy’s operations include emissions of ammonia, a hazardous air pollutant, at levels exceeding the State standard for ambient air quality; withdrawal of nearly 90 million gallons of groundwater per year from on-site high-capacity wells; heavy truck traffic, estimated to be nearly 20,000 truck loads per year (an average of 53 trucks per day); and construction and paving of over 100 acres of formerly productive cropland.
