About

S.N. Pickard Commons is home to our main dining hall and so much more. The Commons, open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, is set up with “all-you-can-eat” buffet-style dining. We have a wide variety of food options available to fit every student's dietary needs and preferences. No matter what you are craving, you're bound to find something delicious to eat.

Students also come to the commons to visit the Center for Career and Professional Development, Office of Student Activities, and our very own Common Grounds coffee shop.

Whether you're looking to join one of Ripon's 60 student organizations, want help preparing for an interview, need some caffeine before class, or head out to dinner with your friends, Pickard Commons is a one-stop shop with lots of places to connect and hang out.
