It is a great honor to be named the 13th president of Ripon College. While my family and I still are settling in to the president’s house at 1 Merriman Lane, we already are forming a strong bond with the Ripon community. We are proud to call Ripon and Wisconsin our new home.

Our first few months at Ripon confirm what we perceived on our initial visit to campus last winter when I was a candidate for the president’s job: people care deeply about the College, and there is confidence about the future. I owe a debt of gratitude to my predecessor, David Joyce, to be able to enter into such a stable situation.

David assembled a thoughtful administrative team and a committed Board of Trustees who also deserve credit for keeping the College focused on the future. There is precious little of the usual drama between administration and faculty that often tears at the fabric of many schools. Our faculty remain fundamentally committed to the student experience and the higher calling of teaching and learning that has

been lost in many other American universities. My wife and I also have been overwhelmed by the Ripon College staff’s dedication to excellence. There are so many people who have gone out of their way to make us feel at home in our first few months on campus.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that “The Chronicle of Higher Education” selected Ripon College to its honor roll of “Great Colleges to Work For” in its 2012 annual survey. Ripon was the only school in Wisconsin recognized in the national survey of 47,000 employees at 294 colleges and universities across the country. We rated highly in six specific categories, including:

▪ Collaborative Governance ▪ Teaching Environment ▪ Confidence in Senior Leadership ▪ Supervisor/Department Chair Relationship ▪ Respect and Appreciation ▪ Tenure Clarity & Process

Only a third of the participating institutions achieved “Great Colleges to Work For” status, and fewer than 15 percent were named to the Honor Roll for best practices and policies.

As I have started to travel around the country meeting with alumni and members of the Board of Trustees, there is a palpable sense that Ripon is at a pivotal point in its 161-year history. As you will read in the pages ahead, the state of the College is solid. We have high-achieving students, newly renovated facilities, brilliant faculty, a successful fund-raising operation, a growing endowment and a vibrant student campus life.

This sense of optimism and strength does not mean that there are not real challenges ahead of us. There are significant issues that we must confront together. Many of these matters do not have easy answers and will not be solved in days or weeks.

The competition for the best high school graduates is intense among colleges and universities. There are many good options (both public and private) for those entering college today. While Ripon’s tuition remains a value among our peers in the Associated Colleges of the Midwest (ACM), the restructuring of the American economy continues to make it difficult for some of our prospective, as well as our current, students to pay for college. Keeping costs down while continuing to find new sources of revenue will be a real test for all of us. The desire to attract and retain geographically and ethnically diverse students means we have to be even more aggressive in our efforts to bring the best and the brightest to Ripon. This is not just the responsibility of our dedicated admissions staff, but it is incumbent upon all of us to make the case that a Ripon education is money and time better spent.

Ripon is rightfully proud of its heritage. Walking through campus on a bright fall day when the trees are changing and the paths are filled with students is a thrill. The College is lucky to have historic buildings that remind students of Ripon’s traditions and its past. Unfortunately, some of these same buildings are in need of significant upgrades. Other facilities, constructed during the 1960s, are dated and also must be renovated. To continue

to attract excellent students, Ripon’s facilities, quite simply, must be better.

Ripon also must continue to invest in its people. The numbers of alumni who have mentioned to me that a specific professor “changed my life,” or a certain coach “believed in me,” is astounding. We must continue to nurture and reward the tradition of excellence among our faculty and staff that has been cultivated over decades.

As a political scientist by training and a student of American foreign policy, I often am reminded of President John F. Kennedy’s dare to the American people about landing a man on the moon by the end of the 1960s. Speaking to students at Rice University he said, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win.”

The question of where we want to be at the end of the decade is relevant right now. I’ve been asked by a couple of the senior members of the faculty that if I had three wishes for Ripon, what would they be? First, I’d like to build our endowment to the $100 million mark. Second, I’d like to see significant renovations to our athletic and science facilities. And for the third wish? I’d like to have 100 more wishes because we should never stop thinking about ways we can be a better institution.

I am excited and ready to get to work with my colleagues on the faculty and staff as well as alumni and trustees in order to take on the big issues confronting the College. It will take sacrifice from everyone to achieve the kinds of results we all hope for in the coming years, but we are fortunate to be building from a position of strength. The passion and commitment that alumni, faculty, staff and students have for Ripon is no small matter. They have been nurtured over decades, and they bind us all together in a responsibility to leave the College stronger for the next generation. In the pages that follow, you will get a glimpse into our dedication and our desire to reach new heights. ▪

For much of the past fiscal year, I had the honor of serving as interim president while the competitive search for a new president was held.

During that time, the academic program was led very ably by Russell Blake, professor of history, whose insight, perspective and thoughtfulness were crucial to the College’s ongoing success. Russ has earned our enduring thanks and greatest respect for his many significant accomplishments.

These include, most notably: hiring the first ever Pieper Family Chair in Servant-Leadership; recruiting several very promising new faculty members, including an ACM-Mellon Post-doctoral Fellow in sociology/gender studies; and creating full-time opportunities for coaches in several athletic programs.

Our faculty continue to provide the quality educational and personal mentoring experiences that alumni remember long after they have left the campus. Here is a shortened list of noteworthy faculty accomplishments during the past year: ▪ Eddie Lowry, professor of Greek and

Latin, has received the 2012 Distinguished Educator Award from the Wisconsin Association for Language Teachers.

▪ Joe Hatcher, professor of psychology, received the 2011-2012 Dick Ringler Distinguished Peace Educator Award from the Wisconsin Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies.

▪ Jacqueline Clark, associate professor of sociology, wrote the article, “Engaging Students’ Minds and Emotions: Using Multiple Strategies to Teach About Suicide,” (2011) Sociological Imagination 47(2):17-20.

▪ Brian Bockelman, assistant professor of history, published articles in a 2012 special issue of “The Journal of Latin American Geography” and the June 2011 issue of “American Historical Review.”

▪ Travis Nygard, assistant professor of art history, published an encyclopedic

essay, “Food and Art,” in the Routledge

International Handbook of Food Studies, released in 2012; and several book reviews.

▪ Kristine Kovack-Lesh, assistant professor of psychology, co-wrote several articles about cognition and development.

▪ Touorouzou Hervè Somè, assistant professor of educational studies, published two chapters in the book “Space, Transformation and Representation: Reflections on University Culture.” He also published an article in the “Journal of Higher Education in Africa” and a chapter in the book “Critical Pedagogy in the Twenty-First Century: A New Generation of Scholars.”

▪ Lamont Colucci, associate professor of politics and government, published the two-volume set “The National Security Doctrines of the American Presidency: How They Shape Our Present and Future” (Praeger, 2012). Colucci spent much of 2012 in Austria as a Fulbright Scholar.

▪ Robert Wallace, professor of biology, co-authored “Towards a list of available names in zoology, partim phylum Rotifera,” which appeared in a recent issue of Zootaxa (2012) 3179: 61–68.

▪ Rafael Salas, associate professor of art, exhibited his work in several locations: Portrait Society Gallery in Milwaukee’s Third Ward; EFFJAY Projekts in Sheboygan, Wis.; and Circa Gallery in Minneapolis. He also designed the cover for Margaret Rozga’s book, “Though I Haven’t Been to Baghdad” (Benu Press, 2012) and the album cover for Brian Seymour’s recording, “Speak to Me of Young Love.”

▪ Diane Mockridge, professor of history, planned and helped to host the ACM conference, “The Power of Place: Facing the Challenges of On-Site Teaching and Researching,” at Ripon College March 9 and 10, 2012.

▪ Brian Smith, professor of religion, took six college students to Panama for 10 days in

The Imagine Tomorrow comprehensive fund-raising campaign has moved along steadily, despite the uncertain financial atmosphere of the past few years. In February, we announced that we had raised $25 million in cash, pledges and deferred commitments since the silent phase of the campaign began in July 2010. Another $14 million in commitments and gifts came in the past year during a time of presidential transition and other major developments on campus. As we now near the halfway point in fiscal year 2013, our goals and priorities are building on the successes of the past fiscal year and preparing for the public phase of our comprehensive campaign. The official public launch of the Imagine Tomorrow campaign will take place Feb. 1, 2013, in Milwaukee.

During FY’12, more than $6 million in gifts were receipted, the third highest total in the past decade and just slightly below the FY’11 mark of $6.4 million. Nearly $3.8 million in gifts were added to the endowment compared to $2 million in FY’11.

A focus on restricted gifts versus unrestricted gifts has led to the diversion of some gifts from the Annual Fund, resulting in a $250,000 decrease in gifts to the annual operating budget. The 1851 Club, however, welcomed 68 new individuals for inclusion in the first full year of the recognition group’s existence.

This year, personal contacts with donors and prospective donors were emphasized. The result has been increased participation in many areas. The 713 face-to-face visits in

FY’12 were an increase of 92 from FY’11, and many of our new monetary commitments were a direct result of these visits. We also secured 19 new Partners in the Legacy estate commitments, and several more Partners increased their deferred commitments.

Proving that our alumni are looking for fun and social ways to connect with their alma mater, there were significant increases in attendance at Alumni Weekend and an expanded number of off-campus Ripon gatherings. We look to continue to provide more and improved social opportunities like these to continue to foster our relationships with our alumni. We also will be placing additional focus this coming year in engaging alumni to assist the College in our admissions and career development efforts.

Our alumni, as well as our parents, also have been more active and vocal on their respective boards of directors since both bodies have been restructured. A change in governance for the Alumni Board makes its structure similar to that of the Board of Trustees, and members now are able to address more significant College issues. Similar progress was made with the Parents’ Board, including revisions to their constitution. We are very grateful to have strong, passionate and dedicated leadership on both of these important advocacy boards.

We continue to improve our print and online communications with alumni, parents and friends of the College. Several upgrades to print and online resources are

making it easier to keep abreast of College happenings. The e-newsletter now is published monthly, making Ripon news more timely. Our new athletic website went live in August, providing a more modern and compelling look for prospective and current student-athletes and Ripon College Red Hawks fans. A soon-to-be-released upgrade to Ripon.edu will provide a fresh look and functionality to the website. It will be both attractive and easy to navigate for our prospective and current students, as well as our alumni, parents and friends.

The impact of donor contributions continues to be a major focus in all of our efforts. In recognizing some of these generous donations, a new daylong event, Tuition-Free Forward Day, focuses on donor impact at Ripon College and symbolically represents the day tuition payments end and donor support (including the endowment) carry the College through the rest of the year.

Some of the students’ heart- felt thanks were captured on video and can be viewed at Ripon.edu/thanks. Also, a series of videos focused on the “More. Together.” theme can be viewed at Ripon.edu/mtvideo.

Support came in other ways, as well. In our foundation and government relations efforts, 16 grant proposals were submitted to a variety of federal and foundation funding sources, eight of which were approved to date for a total of $1,225,781. Of those eight, four came from new funding sources for the College.

The introduction of Zach P. Messitte as Ripon’s 13th president in March drew attention from regional print and television media, and it marked our first livestreaming event — a welcome addition to alumni, parents and friends who could not attend. We have had subsequent recent success placing stories around our new president, including several articles in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

As we celebrate the successes of FY’12, we thank each of you for your various contributions to the mission of Ripon College. The time, talents and philanthropic gifts you share with us are incredibly vital to our work and provides our students with the resources necessary to make their Ripon education accessible and excellent. ▪

The Office of Admission and Financial Aid strives to attractthe best and brightest students to Ripon College. As wework with students, we seek those who will contribute tothe Ripon College community both inside and outside ofthe classroom. In doing so, the place that so many havecalled “home” for more than 160 years continues to thriveand the Ripon story continues to be told. That story, toldby current students, faculty, staff and alumni, helps to explain to prospective students what their four years will be like on campus and how it will prepare them for lives of productive, socially responsible citizenship.

As of fall semester census day, Aug. 31, 2012, a total of 205 first-time, full-time students with an additional 16 full-time transfer students had joined the Ripon College community. We received 1,046 applications for admission to the Class of 2016 – the fifth consecutive year we have had more than 1,000 applications. Prior to this, 1965 was the only other year 1,000 applications were received.

We extended offers of admission to 811 students for the Class of 2016. The resulting acceptance rate of 78 percent and the academic profile are in line with our most recent classes.

The Class of 2016 has an average high school grade point average of 3.42 on a 4.00 scale, with an average ACT score of 24. For those students whose high school provided a class rank, 25 percent were ranked in the top 10 percent of their class. We also are honored with 29 legacies – students who are continuing the tradition of their family’s history of attendance at Ripon.

The Class of 2016 brings a wealth of geographic, ethnic, socioeconomic and religious diversity to campus. Out-of-state students represent 32 percent of the class, with students from 13 other states joining 139 students from Wisconsin. The highest state representations following Wisconsin include Illinois, Minnesota, California, Pennsylvania and Colorado. There are nine international students.

The male-to-female ratio for this class is 44:56. We continue the tradition of access and making a nationally

recognized, liberal arts education affordable to all qualified candidates regardless of their financial background. Ninety-nine percent of students received some form of financial assistance. Based on self-reported information from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), 28 percent of

the class is first generation – meaning neither parent had attended a college or university.

The end of the 2011-2012 recruitment cycle has brought exciting changes to the admission office and to our overall recruitment efforts of students to Ripon College. Before his departure, Steve Syverson, who had helped as an enrollment consultant, made a number of recommendations to the Board of Trustees for recruitment initiatives that will help Ripon take the next step in recruiting students during this incredibly competitive time. Many of the initiatives have been implemented or currently are being implemented.

A number of hires across campus – including those in the athletic department, marketing and communications, and admissions – are helping to bolster our recruitment efforts and will positively impact the size of the next first-year class.

On July 1, Ruth Vedvik was engaged as an enrollment consultant in charge of admission and financial aid, bringing with her more than 35 years of experience in the field. For the last 10 years, she has worked with schools similar to Ripon College and has helped them reach enrollment goals. Under Ruth’s guidance, we have initiated more outreach and personal touches from the counseling staff to prospective students.

We are spending more time on the road meeting prospective students where they live, and are planning new programs to draw more students to visit campus. We are also busy implementing a new software system to help us better communicate with students at all stages of inquiry.

These exciting new strategies and recruitment initiatives will help us to successfully recruit the Ripon College Class of 2017 and many classes to come. ▪

More. Together. Fact or fiction? In the ever-changing student life world – where technology in particular alters formerly established behavioral patterns – students remain constant in their commitment to one another and to cocurricular opportunities. Participating and learning outside the classroom remain alive and well at Ripon College.

On weekday nights, between 150 and 200 students flocked to:

▪ A presentation by Coach Herman Boone, inspiration for the movie “Remember the Titans.”

▪ The film “Miss Representation,” reflecting on how women are portrayed in the media.

▪ A talk by a Holocaust survivor. ▪ “Take Back the Night,” a Greek-

sponsored walk through the campus and streets of Ripon.

We can surely conclude that students remain actively engaged in their total college experience.

Record numbers of students participated in Residence Life’s annual “Ripon after Dark” series that included creative events like Grocery Bingo, Battle of the Sexes and Tie-Dyeing (some things never fade away!).

On the heels of generations of imaginative Ripon College students, one would think that the well of new student organization ideas would have run dry, yet seven new groups formed, including Ripon Students for Animal Welfare, Tabletop Games and the Ripon Arts Appreciation Society.

Tutoring contracts reached all-time highs with students actively assisting their peers. Student traffic continued to flow into health and counseling services, often the result of staff, faculty and fellow students referring

students for assistance. And who would believe that on an early Saturday morning, throngs of seniors would attend a Kaplan-sponsored session designed to further prepare them for the Graduate Record Exam?

At a time of increasing college costs and tightening budgets, retention rates at Ripon College continue to be enviable. The 86 percent first-to-second year return rate exceeds national averages by more than 10 percent. Close contact with faculty, approachable administrative staff, competitive financial aid packaging and excellent teaching all contribute to a sense of belonging that binds students closely together.

Facilities matter, too! Upgrades this year included carpet replacements, completely redesigned dining areas and a refreshed first-floor area of the library that all enhanced venues for student interactions.

No longer are Ripon students restricted to congregating in a lounge around the one television set in the building, or even sitting around a keg with their of-age 18-year-old classmates. They now bond and learn from one another

in group projects, field trips, intramural teams, student organizations and Facebook groups, as well as many interactive elements that span the student landscape.

It’s not surprising, then, as documented by the 2012 National College Senior Survey, that 95 percent of Ripon graduates indicated being satisfied or very satisfied with their overall college experience, a score that surpasses the average of other four-year colleges.

Scores on the 2012 National Survey of Student Engagement indicate that last year’s Ripon College seniors enjoyed their relationships with other students, faculty members and administrative personnel and offices at higher levels than the average of students at 83 similar colleges.

The 2012 National College Senior Survey also reports that Ripon seniors felt a stronger sense of belonging to campus than the average of 5,500 students at other four-year colleges.

Ripon remains a special place, one where memories in and out of the classroom are cementing lifelong relationships. ▪

Accomplishments in fiscal year 2012 in the functional areas of finance, business, conference services, physical plant, printing and mailroom highlighted a slower financial year.

Twenty-one new employees were welcomed to campus, including President Zach P. Messitte, who was inaugurated as Ripon College’s 13th president. The presidential search was conducted throughout the year and was supported by Chris Sabel, administrative assistant in the finance office.

This finance office supported the searches and campus establishment of all of the new employees.

The annual Employee Recognition Breakfast, held May 10 this year, honored employee service to the College in five- year increments. This year, we recognized 43 employees, including three who were retiring.

Several areas of campus received upgrades and renovations during the summer, which provide a fresh look. Lane

Library was updated with new carpet and furnishings, and the entry to the library is much more inviting. The library improvements were funded by donor gifts.

Within the student residences, several areas received new carpeting. A new roof was placed on the Collaborative Learning Center, several coaches’ offices were remodeled in the J.M. Storzer Center, and new asphalt was laid in the parking area between C.J. Rodman Center for the Arts and Storzer.

Many significant improvements were made to the dining area in Pickard Commons, funded by an investment of more than $1 million by Sodexo, our food service partner.

Conference Services accommodated 12 income-producing conference groups between May and early August, bringing in gross revenues of about $171,000. Conference Services also accommodated eight weddings on campus, which generated $12,800 in revenues for the College.

Controller Lori Schulze spearheaded the request for proposal (RFP) process for an audit firm to conduct the College’s financial audits. The Audit Committee of the Board of Trustees made the final selection of the Grant Thornton firm. Grant Thornton began with the retirement plan audits and currently is finishing the financial audit for FY’12.

Financial statements were prepared during the summer and ready for the auditors the day they arrived. Bills have been paid on a timely basis, and revenues were collected promptly.

The College ended the FY’12 with an operating deficit of $332,000. This deficit was funded through gifts received to make debt payments. Operating revenues were lower than anticipated, primarily because of lower-than-expected gifts to the Annual Fund and the number of first-year students for fall 2011.

Financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2012, reflect an unrestricted decrease to net assets of $857,176. Total net assets increased by $1,052,630. The College Composite Financial Index (CFI) for the year ended June 30, 2012, is 0.8. This is below the minimum recommended CFI of 3.0.

The value of the endowment at June 30, 2012, was $62,280,732. This reflects a decrease during the year of more than $92,186. The market value of the College’s pooled endowment was above the historical cost value at June 30, 2012.

The covenants for the WHEFA Adjustable Rate Put Option Revenue Bonds, Series 2006, were met during the year. The purchase of M&I by the Bank of Montreal resulted in lower interest rates on our bonds.

We are excited about our progress in the new fiscal year with momentum on the Advancement front and the February launch of the public phase of the Imagine Tomorrow capital campaign. ▪

With grand pomp and circumstance, Zach P. Messitte was formally inaugurated Sept. 29 as the 13th president in the 161-year history of Ripon College.

College presidents and dignitaries from across the country; Ripon Mayor Gary Will; and Congressman Thomas E. Petri, who represents Wisconsin’s 6th Congressional District, all welcomed Messitte and expressed confidence in his ability to bring vibrancy and leadership to the College.

The special guest speaker was George Tenet, former director of Central Intelligence, U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Tenet and Messitte have known each other for nearly 25 years, when both worked for the U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

“What he will convey to all of you is a deep appreciation of your history and yet challenge each and every one of you … to up your game, think bigger, engage the world and be the crown jewel of small liberal arts colleges that are so absolutely essential to the success of our country and this world,” Tenet said.

“A college community is often compared to family,” Messitte said. “We all belong to multiple kinds of families. They help define us and shape us. I am humbled to become part of the narrative of this institution. The experience the College gives has the power to unlock a lifetime of learning.” ▪

As Ripon College took a reinvigorated step forward during fiscal year 2012, several areas of campus received physical upgrades and renovations – giving a fresh look and functionality to highly active areas.

New carpeting and furnishings create a more comfortable and attractive look to the North and South reading rooms in Lane Library, as well as an inviting entry. There also are new computer setups, new popular magazines and newspapers, white boards and group work space. The library improvements were funded by donor gifts.

An investment of more than $1 million by Sodexo, Ripon’s food service partner, funded significant improvements and updates to the dining area in Pickard Commons. There is updated food preparation equipment, new dining furnishings, more stream-lined food pickup areas, and separate food stations for salad bar, sandwiches, desserts and made-to-order specials of the day.

Also within Pickard Commons, donor gifts made possible the upgrade of the Dahm Heritage Room, Pickard Dining Room, the Mihaly Room and the hallway between them. The small dining/meeting areas were extensively upgraded with new furnishings, wall and window treatments, lighting, carpeting and ceilings.

MeeTinG firST laDY »caps volunteer experience

Meg Schwemmer, academic support specialist for Farr Hall, was selected to meet Michelle Obama when the First Lady made a campaign stop Sept. 29 at Lawrence University in Appleton. Here are her impressions:

“I was honored recently to meet Michelle Obama when she visited the Lawrence University

campus. I became involved in the Obama campaign this summer when I received an online invitation through a Democratic website to train to be a volunteer. There I met Samir Paul, a young activist who is working with Wisconsin for Obama. He shared information about how to engage with potential supporters by talking about the issues that are important to them. I later attended a gathering of Women for Obama. We talked about issues that affected each of us. I heard what their experiences have been lately in the education, health care and social service fields.

“I felt a connection because preserving educational opportunities and access to health care are especially important to me. Through my job, I daily witness the hard work of students, many of them first-generation college attendees. Here, they prepare for graduate programs. Here, they gain skills that will help them to find meaningful employment in the future. Also, I have three sons, and their dreams are being brought within reach through education, partially funded by federal grants and loans.

“After those experiences, my husband and I volunteered to have a weekly phone bank at our house during the early stages of this fall’s campaign. When responsibilities for the core group were given out, I was asked to help with volunteer recruitment. My husband’s job is the ‘comfort coordinator,’ which means he supplies water and healthy snacks for the phone volunteers and canvassers. The operation has moved to an office at 227 Watson St., where I lettered the front door and windows. I continue to volunteer as often as I can.

“When Michelle Obama’s Appleton visit was announced, one campaign volunteer was chosen to represent each of the northeast Wisconsin field organizers’ districts. I was thrilled

to be asked. It was a long day of standing and waiting, but it was well worth the effort. Groups that went ahead of our contingent included Wisconsin Democratic office-holders, Lawrence University dignitaries, representatives from the Oneida Nation and the Hmong community, and chiefs of the area police, sheriff and fire departments. We waited in line for a personal embrace and thank you from the First Lady. We were allowed to say a short statement. I can’t remember my exact words, but they ran along the lines of, ‘Thank you for all you do for us; it’s an honor to meet you.’

“Then we were grouped at the front of the room. The First Lady thanked us for our involvement and urged us to keep up the hard work in the weeks ahead. Finally, she stood with our group for a photo. I felt humbled and elated at the same time. We were an eclectic bunch, representing lots of constituencies – a good cross-section of ages and beliefs and reasons we have chosen to be active. We live in an exceptional country, where someone with my background can have an opportunity to meet someone I respect so much. Michelle Obama is elegant and eloquent, radiating joy, confidence and compassion for others.

“The rally itself and her speech to the crowd were icing on the cake. The main message was that the president is truly concerned with the plight of working families in our country. He believes that strengthening the middle class is the best approach to making our economy work for everyone. Also, Mrs. Obama stressed the fact that she and President Obama are living proof that the American Dream does exist for those who will work hard to achieve it.

“The crowd was wildly enthusiastic. It seemed very appropriate that the speech was given on a college campus because our young people have so much at stake in this election. They see the connection between educational opportunities, their future job prospects, and the health of our nation’s economy.

“I will never forget the experience of meeting the First Lady, looking into her eyes, and seeing in her all the possibilities that our country has to offer. It was an honor, indeed.” ▪

TWO riPOn GeneraTiOnS Share »thrill of Republican National Convention

It was the experience of a lifetime for father and daughter. George Gitcho ’67 of San Antonio, Texas, was the guest of his daughter, Gail Gitcho ’01, at the Republican National Convention in Tampa at the end of August.

Gail served as communications director for Gov. Mitt Romey’s presidential campaign. George met many news anchors from FOX, CNN and MSNBC; Gail’s campaign associates; Executive Editor Al Hunt of “Bloomberg News”; Mark Halperin of “Time Magazine” and Andrea Mitchell of MSNBC. He also joined a guided tour of the FOX News facility by Chris Wallace.

“Gail was scheduled to be interviewed live on FOX News Tuesday morning, so we went to the set with her and observed everything that it takes to make this happen,” George says. “It was awesome! We met Michael Clemente, executive vice president of news, Bill Hemmer, Martha MacCallum, Shannon Bream, Brian Kilmeade and Bret Baier. They all know Gail and love working with her.”

Later, Gail and other Romney staff members did a live interview with Mike Allen, chief political correspondent for POLITICO News.

George observed Ann Romney’s speech on the first night of the convention. “It was exciting to watch what was happening on stage as well as in the FOX News area below,” George says. “Ann Romney’s speech captured the attention of the entire Tampa Bay Forum.”

On Wednesday, he heard Condoleezza Rice and Paul Ryan as the main speakers, and on Thurday, Gov. Romney spoke. He also watched as the Romney team prepared for a group photo.

“Gail was able to join us for the Romney speech and relax somewhat,” George says. “Then the brushfire started

regarding Clint Eastwood’s appearance. She had proofed his original speech that afternoon, but he delivered some impromptu thoughts instead. How do you vet Dirty Harry?”

After a mass of falling balloons highlighted the close of the convention, George joined Gail at the CNN Grill where Gail had a live interview with Piers Morgan. When Morgan was done interviewing for the evening, he joined the Gitchos at their table for some humorous “off-the-cuff” campaign conversation until 2 a.m, George says.

On George’s flight back to San Antonio, he learned that the people seated next to him were Ann Romney’s brother, his wife, their daughter and son-in-law.

“The preparation involved in creating this event was unbelievable,” George says. “Watching it evolve first-hand was amazing.” ▪

if TheSe WallS COulD Talk: »Many have shared same spot on Smith Hall’s third floor

Ripon College’s original campus buildings have been witness to a variety of functions over the years. The now stately office of the vice president of advancement on the third floor of Smith Hall (formerly known as Middle Hall) is on the same spot that numerous alumni once called their Ripon home.

Sam Dougan ’48 of Tucson, Ariz., was housed in that space for a time. “There was a study room and two bedrooms off of it,” Sam recalls. “We had a couple of upper classmen from Oconto or Oconto Falls. They had a smelt run there every year. They would bring back a huge washtub of smelt, and we would have a big beer party.”

This was during “Hell Week,” and Sam recalls a lot of fraternity antics such as another washtub in the basement filled with “hot” liquid spiked with Tabasco sauce that they had to hold in their mouths. They would eat smelt and drink beer afterward.

“The next morning there was the smell of stale beer and smelt, and we had to clean the place up,” he says.

He also recalls everyone disassembling their beds once a year and creating hurdle races in the attic of Smith – but he is too polite to detail the specifics, he says.

In the spring, he recalls, they climbed out the dormer windows and sunbathed on the roof. “And that crazy Evan Olson (’50 of Omaha, Neb.) would do a somersault off the roof,” Sam says.

Olson doesn’t recall going off the roof, but he does recall a snafu when he first arrived at Smith Hall. “They didn’t have room for me, so they put a drape across one of the dormers in the sleeping quarters and put in a bed and a dresser. I lived up there for at least a semester!”

A few years later, James B. Landwehr ’56 of Glendale, Wis., was housed in the same space and fondly recalls “life at Smith Hall with a randy bunch.” He said the rooms then were designed to have two sleeping areas with a double bunk and clothes rack, and a study area. One of the rooms lost its sleeping area to make way for an exit to the fire escape.

“The guys who were assigned got together and they took the room on the back side of the building next to the fire escape for a sleeping room,” he says. “Everyone slept there except me. I worked at Schneider’s Restaurant and had to be there at 5 in the morning. I slept in one of the sleeping rooms on the west. Then we had the big corner room for our recreation. They called it a study room, but I can’t remember doing much studying there. None of us really studied very hard, I don’t remember, but we were brilliant.

“The study room was to ‘die’ in in an emergency, like being overly involved with beer or whatever. We took good care of the room – we always flipped our cigarette butts out into the hall. There were black spots all over the floor. I’m surprised we didn’t burn the place down.”

Jim Thayer ’54, Bill Donaldson ’54 and the late Frank Bonfiglio ’56 were among the group who shared space there together.

Thayer fondly recalls Bonfiglio and his affectionate Italian family from Milwaukee. Bonfiglio got into a bit of trouble when he participated in a prank at Lawrence University. He and accomplices painted their library columns Ripon red. Thayer, as student council president, was called in to President Clark Kuebler’s office and asked to deliver a check to Lawrence to cover damages.

ManY TranSfOrMaTiOnSThe second building constructed on the Ripon College campus, Smith Hall has gone through a series of name changes and served a variety of purposes throughout the years. Originally called Middle College, the building housed women students, classrooms, meeting rooms and the commons. It became a men’s residence hall after the completion of Bartlett Cottage in 1888. Before World War II, it was the house of Delta Sigma Psi fraternity (later Sigma Alpha Epsilon).

In 1909, Middle College was renamed Smith Hall in honor of the generous Smith family. After the war and until the building of the Quads, it housed Delta Sigma Psi and Omega Chi (later Sigma Chi).

On Jan. 7, 1931, the interior of the building was consumed by fire. Rebuilding began immediately. The remodeled Smith Hall became the main administrative building in 1958 and was later renamed Middle Hall. It housed the office of the president and the dean of faculty until the College renovated the Carnegie Building in 2006.

Now renamed Smith Hall, the building houses the offices of the vice president for advancement and vice president for finance, as well as offices for marketing and communications, financial aid, alumni and parent relations, and the department of communication. The duplicating department and business office are on the bottom floor. ▪

Thayer was able to talk President Kuebler out of suspending Bonfiglio over the incident.

“Frank’s dad later came into that third-floor room in Smith and asked his son, ‘Who is the one who kept you in college?’ He said, ‘Jim Thayer, there.’ And his dad gave me a big Italian bear hug.” He says Bonfiglio later became the maître’d at the Pfister Hotel in Milwaukee.

Thayer also recalls Jerry Rosen, who later stood up at Thayer’s wedding. A doting aunt continually sent Rosen cashmere sweaters. He would wear one and toss it in a corner of the room. When about 30 were gathered there, he took them to the dry cleaners.

Another friend frequently borrowed money from Thayer to go gambling, and left the repayment on the dresser in the room.

Donaldson, now of St. Charles, Ill., says two fraternities were housed in the residence hall then. “Our group was Delta Sigma Psi, and we occupied the third floor plus the sleeping attic – also a lounge in the basement. This was the site of continual sheepshead tournaments as well as an in-house pool

hall complete with billiard and pool tables to enhance our liberal educations and deplete our meager savings.

“In the evening, when lights were low, it became a retreat for couples who couldn’t rely on sufficient privacy on the front steps of the tri-dorms or living rooms of the various sorority houses. As you might expect from a group of active young men, our housekeeping habits left a bit to be desired, but we occasionally banded together to sweep things out.”

Beer was the beverage of choice for most of the residents, Donaldson says, although alcohol was not allowed on campus. “The water closets on our toilets served as make-do coolers,” he says. “This managed to keep our bottles of Chief Oshkosh and White Cap brew moderately cool but also led to occasional plumbing malfunctions. At least we knew how to fix the problem without relying on the maintenance staff.

“Despite the fun-and-games aspects of life in Smith Hall, it provided a great place for a community of friends to build a lifetime of friendships while getting a first-class education.”

Landwehr agrees. “We had some very good guys,” he says. “It was a lot of fun. It was a good room.” ▪

As a child growing up in Brooklyn, Memuna Z. Khan developed a fascination and love for animals and the outdoors by devouring her “Ranger Rick” magazines each month. “I was one of those starry-eyed kids who wanted to work with animals, and I found a way to do it,” she says.

Now an associate professor of biology at Ripon, Khan found her calling when she took an animal behavior course and a field ecology course.

While a biology major at the University of Chicago, she took a field ecology course that included a trip to study cattle egrets in Florida. “That’s where I figured out that birds were the best!” she says. “Doing field biology was pretty fun. That was the clincher that that’s what I wanted to do.”

During graduate school at North Carolina State University, Khan studied and wrote about woodpeckers. After moving to Wisconsin, she says, she had to find a different wild bird population to study. Since 2007, that has been eastern bluebirds.

“I picked bluebirds because they are a really good study system for the questions I am interested in,” she says. “Also, with bluebirds, you can create a research population fairly quickly because they nest readily in boxes that I set up. Then, I can find them, catch them easily and individually mark them so when I see them again, I know who they are.”

Several students help Khan with her bluebird research each year, and she finds this incredibly rewarding. Because Ripon is an undergraduate school and intimately sized, students get study opportunities that typically are available only to graduate students at larger schools.

“Students help throughout the research process: submitting research grants, designing and implementing projects and presenting their work at conferences,” she says. “By far, the students have the most fun when they monitor the nest boxes from March through August. It’s always exciting when the first eggs appear, and the students love the opportunity to handle birds.”

Khan and her students are studying the reasons some bluebird pairs attempt a second nest after successfully producing young. Students have examined the role of food availability, weather and competition with other species for nest boxes on the decision of a pair to attempt a second nest.

Khan appreciates the interaction with students as much as they enjoy it. “I like teaching because it keeps me learning, and I like to learn,” she says. One way she keeps learning is by having her students report on the latest news publications relevant to the course she is teaching.

“I like to see which topics they pick and what they get excited about,” she says. “Science is progressing and changing, and this is one way that we can experience the dynamic nature of science together.” ▪

Kurt R. Dietrich has taught in the music department at Ripon for 32 years. “The thing that keeps musicians going is what you feel when you play, sing or even listen to music,” he says. “You can’t talk about it. If we could talk about music and get the same experience, we wouldn’t need music. It feels different and communicates

differently than anything you can read or write.”Asked about his teaching style, and how students perceive

him, he believes that they would say that “I’m pretty demanding. I expect a reasonably high level of work from my students. It is the nature of what I do that the students and I are making music together. At every rehearsal, they’re actively involved the whole time. It’s the same thing when I’m teaching a lesson. I guide the lesson, but the student is doing the work.”

Dietrich appreciates the kind of student who comes to Ripon. “What I love about the students is how open and guileless they are,” he says. “These are some of the nicest kids you’ll find anywhere. Some of our students come here and are not as well-prepared or trained as they might be. But the students here will work hard for me. I

make them work hard, and they keep coming

back. You can tell you’re making a difference in those students’ lives, and it goes way beyond the music. There’s a great reward in that.”

For Dietrich, the goal is doing his best to ensure that students succeed. “I want every student to do well.”

During his long career at Ripon, Dietrich has received several teaching awards. While this pleases him, he says it doesn’t affect the steady, reliable teaching style that has earned him those honors.

“You’d like to think you’re going to teach the same way no matter what,” he says. “If the awards come, great. If not, you hope you’re doing the best you can, teaching the way you think it’s supposed to be done.”

Dietrich says all the faculty on campus strive to stay actively involved in their field. For him, that means doing research, writing and performing, “as well as showing up to class every day,” he says. Each year, he still plays 10 to 12 gigs a year, performs at campus events, substitutes with area orchestras and big bands, and guests at a couple of jazz festivals.

“It’s juggling things,” he says. “You figure it out from day to day. It’s been a good fit for me here at Ripon. At a smaller school, you’ve got to be able to do a lot of different things and that’s the way I seem to work best.”

Dietrich’s career has been all about making music and helping students to do the same. And, he says, “If you can share that, what’s better?” ▪

kurT r. DieTriCh »Professor of Music and Barbara Baldwin De Frees Chair in the Performing Arts2012 James Underkofler Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching

“Aside from his excellence in classroom instruction, Prof. Dietrich is always willing to go the extra mile for his students. He takes a great interest in the personal lives and goals of his students, and he is willing to help them plan their lives after graduation, no matter what their undergraduate major happens to be. His ability

to be both professional and amiable makes him not only a great teacher, but a great person.”

1851 CluB MeMBerSThe 1851 Club recognizes alumni, parents and friends whose leadership of financial support helps secure Ripon College’s proud heritage and tradition of academic excellence, now and well into the future.

Membership in the 1851 Club is offered to those who support the College at or above the $1,000 level in a given year or whose lifetime support is $50,000 or more.

Membership in the 1851 Club also is offered to young alumni who have supported the College at a level equivalent to $100 for each year post-graduation. For instance, for someone who graduated five years ago, a gift of $500 or more will qualify the alumnus for membership in the 1851 Club, and a gift of $600 or more would be needed to renew the membership next year. Italics signify lifetime members.

2011-2012 BenefaCTOrS »A Lifetime of Philanthropy

Ripon College names these alumni and friends as Ripon College Benefactors in recognition of their lifetime philanthropy and significant gifts. 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 enhance the liberal arts mission and financial stability of Ripon College.

We are at an important moment when people are questioning

the importance of a liberal arts education. To all the

specialists who chant, ‘We’ve got jobs,’ Zach and I would say,

‘Yes, but the men and women of Ripon College have futures.’

George Tenet, former Cia director

Thank you for helping to realize those futures!

F l a s h B A C K ▪ 1903

Smith hall, formerly known as Middle hall and Middle College, has undergone many transformations over the years. Shown here are photographs from its 1903 incarnation as a residence hall. Today, the building houses staff and faculty offices. During a period six decades ago, many ripon alumni lived in the space now occupied by vice President for advancement Wayne Webster. alumni share their memories on Page 20.
