Jim Clark felt motivated to serve on the Board of Trustees because it allows him to give back to his undergraduate institution that played a very important role in his life. Since becoming a member of the Board in 1895 Jim feels he receives much in return for the time he invests as a Trustee.
“The reward is in the association with other Trustees, the administration, faculty and students,” he says. As every individual has something he or she brings to the table as a Trustee, Jim feels he is able to contribute insight because of his extensive history with the College. He also benefits the Board with his legal expertise.
Jim stays active in his spare time, with his favorite hobbies being golf and skiing. His position on the Board has made him aware that two of the College’s most pertinent challenges are maintaining reasonable affordability and attractiveness to future students. However, he finds the dedication of Ripon College’s leaders one of the most promising aspects of the institution.
