Class of 2021: Shane Nelson

We celebrate the Class of 2021, what they have achieved during their years at Ripon and what they hope to achieve in the next chapter of their lives.

Shane Nelson ’21 of Pulaski, Wisconsin, is majoring in biology with a minor in strength and conditioning. He plans to work before studying for a master’s degree in athletic training.

The most important lesson he learned at Ripon College is “nothing is ever as bad as it seems, and if it makes you happy then go for it!” he says.
