Each spring, students elect a member of the senior class to serve two years as a full member of the Board of Trustees. Special graduate trustees for 2023-2024 are Abbegayle Lane '22 and Christian Schmidt '23. The Board is the final authority on campus, and these recent graduates serve as a liaison between the Trustee Board and student body.

Students currently enrolled at the institution should feel free to contact Abbegayle or Christian with questions or concerns they may have that they feel should be addressed by the Board. Special graduate trustees retain their @ripon.edu email addresses, and can be contacted via email.

Students who will be graduating in the 2023-2024 School Year and who are interested in learning more about this position should contact the Student Senate (studentsenate@ripon.edu) and keep an eye out for applications in mid-March.
