About

The Ceresco Prairie serves as the College's big backyard.

This wildlife refuge extends 130 acres behind Willmore Center, beginning in our college president's front yard.

Students can visit the prairie to get a breath of fresh air or study local prairie life. In the fall and spring, you'll find students going for hikes, jogs and bike rides. In the winter, these trails are great for cross country skiing and snowshoeing.

Between outdoor yoga and 5K fundraisers, the prairie connects the College with the Ripon community.

It's a beautiful extension of campus.
