Ripon Alumni Summer Celebration!
Did you study or teach at Ripon College? If so, then you are invited to a very special celebration event.
On 30 June 2018 York St John will be naming a building on their Lord Mayor’s Walk campus ‘Ripon’ to acknowledge the incredible impact the Ripon College had on higher education, especially women’s education in the region, and would like anyone who studied and taught at the college to come and celebrate with them.
The celebration will take place on the afternoon of Saturday 30 June 2018 and is free to all ex-Ripon staff and students. The naming of the building will be followed by afternoon tea, lawn games and tours of Ripon memorabilia throughout the current campus. We would love Ripon alumni of all ages to come along and celebrate with us. Bring your family, arrange to meet your friends here and join us for this fantastic reunion afternoon – everyone is welcome!
The University is also planning to commemorate Ripon College with a display of information boards throughout the newly renamed building and will be collecting pictures, stories, memories and any other memorabilia throughout the rest of the year.
A lovely day but very disappointed that the plaque seems to push the notion of an all female establishment. Appreciate it was initially but mature males from 1964 and all males introduced from 1969 seems to be lost in the wording!!
