School is back in session...but Service never takes a break
Ripon College students are back on campus and the service gurus at the Office of Community Engagement have spent the summer in the community finding opportunities for service and learning about social justice. The Fal 2012 calendar is available and we are looking forward to posting information about service, social justice, engagement and servant leadership. Check back often to find out where we are in our service journey!
