Who are they? What do they do?

The Alumni Association Board of Directors represents alumni interests and initiatives to the College, students, and faculty/staff.  The Board meets twice per year on campus and consists of alumni, student and staff representatives.  
 
Make up of the Alumni Board
 
As agreed upon by the Alumni Board of Directors at the spring 2006 meeting, there shall be three (3) committees of the Board. These committees are the Ripon Person Committee, the Advancement Committee, and the College Operations Committee and were designed to align with existing Board of Trustees committees and minimize overlap in alumni programs.
