The Office of Community Engagement is working toward the day when every Ripon College student can find educational and personal enrichment in the many aspects of life beyond Ripon’s campus. As a campus-wide center for academic and co-curricular programming, the office is committed to:

• Matching students with opportunities that allow them an opportunity to meaningfully contribute to the welfare of the community.
• Developing students who are leaders in the nonprofit and civic sectors through intensive training and our Bonner Leaders program.
• Supporting faculty in academic community engagement, including service-learning, nonprofit internships, and community-based research.
• Promoting educational programs that prepare students for lives of socially responsible citizenship.
• Developing deep relationships with nonprofit partners based on a model of cooperative problem solving.
• Sharing effective programming through relationships with Wisconsin Campus Compact and the national Bonner network.

The OCE is located in the lower level of the Carnegie building, on the corner of Seward and Watson Streets. (map) Office Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday – Friday.
